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 latest album, Reservoir, offers bombastic melodies and windswept harmonies, arranged with enough instrumentation to fill a concert hall.
