FANFARLO (London 229 Bar, 05/03/09)



I feel I should like Fanfarlo more than I do. Like Ra Ra Riot, they’ve theoretically got all the elements of a band I like (i.e. their set-up is not dissimilar to Arcade Fire) but in practice they leave me cold. True, I’m A Pilot is a bit of a tune but beyond a certain geeky charm I find them oddly unengaging- perhaps because I unconsciously perceive them to be a pale imitation of AF, I can’t bring myself to like them? Then again, that hasn’t stopped me loving Broken Records...
