There is something downright old-timey about Fanfarlo’s sound – not because their music is antiquated, but because these indie folk rockers capture the aura of the 19th-century American Frontier in all its excitement, mystery, and rolling Midwestern planes. The crooning trumpets, inquisitive bells, and soft mandolin are a perfect backdrop for gentle vocals and artful lyrics sung by a campfire, filling the starry night sky.
Surprisingly, this talented group of musicians hails from London (with a Swedish frontman) and adds positively modern touches to a timeless, rustic sound. At times danceable, many times symphonic, and always pensive, Fanfarlo’s ability to take listeners on a journey across continents and through time is not to be missed at Paradise this Sunday.
