Watch: FANFARLO 'Harold T. Wilkins' music video


Fanfarlo || Listen || Watch
Their upbeat attitude totally infused their music, and then the crowd. It came through in trumpet, melodicas, keyboards, drums, melodic bass and passionate dreamy stories sung by Simon Balthazar. Now, more then a year later, comes Reservoir, the first album from Fanfarlo. It was worth the wait. Lyrically, Reservoir reveals itself with each listen. The opening cut, “I Am A Pilot,” I believe is about Howard Hughes and has these lyrics: If I stay in this room / They’ll remember me for my youth If I stay in this room / They’ll remember me for my youth. If I give it all up / But kid I’m a pilot / It’s all I believe in / You can ride on my back. My adoration for this band grows with every repeat. The melodies are full of emotion and the way the songs hang together is delicate and powerful. – NPR
