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."

Current Release: (Double A-Side!) Fire Escape / We Live By The Lake Out now on White Heat Records, and available to buy from the White Heat online store!
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
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.
- David Bowie
David Bowie's dead right naming them as one of his favourite new bands. The likes of 'Fire Escape' and '...Outsiders' separate them out as being something rather special.
- Drowned In Sound
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.
- Playlouder
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
Playlouder - Single Of The Week (strike 1)
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.
