"This is, in my opinion, fall in love, take no prisoners pop at its very best. They're out for your heart, get ready to have it stolen."
- Clare Charles, www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk

"The London-based sextet otherwise known as Fanfarlo produce sounds on Harold T. Wilkins that’s so folky, rustic and rich that it’s nearly possible to imagine them in the form of a Digestive biscuit." - Bandidge.com

Our second single: Outsiders / In The Trunk on Club Fandango is still available to buy on 7" only from the Club Fandango label shop !
Fanfarlo are one of those bands you wish you discovered... Each of their songs is a melodic gem. [...] so luminescent we could almost be fooled into thinking that it's summertime. ****
- The Independent
"...there's about 20 of them (six), and they're all perfect. Friendly, fierce, wayward, timid, subtle, versatile, other things... From the moment their first song prickles the room, their charm is offensively powerful. What is most clear about Fanfarlo, though, is the world that Aurell has built around himself and the uniting, intangible purpose that each song has - they crush every ounce of effort and emotion through the narrowest of pop margins so that its power spurts out in a colourful explosion at every climax."
- Drowned In Sound
I've heard four or five of Fanfarlo's songs now, and, like a few of my other favourites, they have that particular knack of being able to create uplifting music that's blessed with a delicious melancholia at the same time. [...] I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more of Fanfarlo.

Playlouder - Single Of The Week (strike 2!)
If you think of pop music as a busy kitchen in a leading restaurant - they seem to have tossed all the key ingredients of a perfect indie-pop stew into the melancholiwok and styled a dish that Camera Obscura or Shout Out Louds for instance would be happy to gorge upon.

Possibly the single of the year so far. - Indie MP3
Swedish indie with wit and invention... brilliant.
- Mixmag
It's rare that a song with such delicacy could have such an overwhelming impact on you. [...] Something quite significant is going to happen to this band. 4.5/5
- Gigwise
It's increasingly evident that Fanfarlo's brilliance lies in their ability to craft heartfelt pop songs with the most delicate of tools without ever appearing twee, lacking in ambition, or smug.
