| White Heat Records Artist Profile for Fanfarlo
After releases on Label Fandango (Fierce Panda offshoot who have discovered many a talent) and legendary arbiters of Indie Pop taste, Fortuna Pop!, White Heat are very pleased to have released Fanfarlo's third single. Fanfarlo write timeless songs that are transposed into the current age. Theirs is a music not based on fashion or fad, or attempting to entwine itself with any recent infestation of ‘cool’. Rather, they rely on the simplest and strongest of musical pillars – lilting melody, striking harmony and slightly shaded lyricism. From this solid songcraft they soundtrack the same hazy, pastoral summer days as Sparklehorse or Broken Social Scene do, but with a stalwart lo-fi C-86 edge. You may also note a scandinavian indie-pop tonality, so it will come as no surprise that singer, Simon Aurell, is in fact Swedish. Now London based, he initially played Fanfarlo songs live in a duo. Over time, a band of five others formed around him, bringing the sounds of bass, drums, violin, trumpet and piano with them. Now when Fanfarlo play live they can create thick enveloping sounds as well as the most fragile of moments. Fire Escape  White Heat Releases by Fanfarlo |
