The fact that this record is self-released is either a testament to Fanfarlo’s independent spirit or a terrible indictment of A&R departments throughout the industry.
Having produced a string of luscious singles the band had a lot to live up to, but with Reservoir they have passed the test with flying colours.
From the slow march of the opening bars of “I’m a Pilot” this is a record that beguiles throughout, turning consistently weighty subject matter into immensely beautiful music. “Ghosts” turns lazy horns and lead singer Simon Balthazar’s sleepily sweet delivery into a tale of a drowning village.
