Fanfarlo
Chamber-pop rarely proves confrontational, but Fanfarlo’s version goes down easier than most. That’s not to say it’s simplistic or overly saccharine: Rich and carefully layered, the British band’s kitchen-sink aesthetic layers enough orchestral detailing to keep most ears luxuriated (or at least interested). Fanfarlo’s debut album, Reservoir, offers bombastic melodies, quavering emotiveness, and windswept harmonies, arranged with enough baroque instrumentation to fill a concert hall. The band has yet to release its follow-up, though it announced that the still-untitled project was finally done last month.
