iTunes Review
The arresting Reservoir reveals layers of instrumental depth and subtle songwriting complexities with repeated listens. Like Belle and Sebastian or the Arcade Fire, much of these tunes braid fragmented poetic lyrics of awkward confidence and nonsensical scholarly regurgitations with well arranged sections of trumpets, pianos, strings, bells and a Morrissey-esque swagger in singer Simon Balthazer. “I’m a Pilot” opens with a beat forged from an organic ambience of recorded sounds — heavy chains dropped on wood and what sounds like boxes of books hitting the floor before piano and bass seep in under violins, glockenspiel and Balthazer crooning with a swarthy romance. “Ghosts” is danceable enough to get urban anglophiles shaking their bangs and hip-satchels, though the uplifting drive of “Luna” makes for a universally accessible dancefloor jam that anyone can dig. “The Walls Are Coming Down” makes Armageddon sound glamorous, but the pedaling “Drowning Men” is undeniably infectious. Of the four bonus tracks added to the Deluxe Version, the whimsical “Hands” along with the anthemic “Sand & Ice” are the true gems.
Customer Reviews
Beautiful Music
Interesting that this is just finally coming out here in the States, as it's been out for quite a long time in the UK. Anyhow, Fanfarlo are a supremely talented group of individuals, and this is a truly affecting collection of songs. Although it may not hit you on the first listen, there is a depth here not present in a lot of indie pop with a similar sound. The instrumentation is large without being overpowering, and the vocals, while initally offputting, grow to become a natural part of the music. On a side note, if you can get out and see these guys live, do it. I caught them opening for Passion Pit in London this summer, and it was a wonderful show.
Orgasm for your ears.
The greatest album I have heard this year.
Scrumptralescent
A perfect fusion of Arcade Fire and Beirut that just sends me.
