被NME標文力挺：「居於Arcade Fire的哀愁藝術搖滾以及Beirut田園民謠風格之間，但是毫無前者的驕矜誇耀與後者的自命不凡態勢。」引用18世紀法國文壇詩人夏爾波德萊爾【La Fanfarlo】小說作為團名的英國隊伍Fanfarlo，不僅迅速打開歐洲市場，更贏得美國本土歡迎，就連《實習醫生Grey’s Anatomy》、《怪醫豪斯House》等熱門電視影集，以及《暮光之城：蝕The Twilight Saga: Eclipse》、《真愛零距離Going The Distance》等好萊塢電影中，都搜尋得到Fanfarlo之絕妙聲跡！

Fanfarlo是由負責主唱並一手包辦吉他/鍵盤/曼陀林/薩克斯風/單簧管等多項樂器、同時位居創作核心的Simon Balthazar當家，加上身兼小提琴/鍵盤/曼陀林/Glock吉他/合音的女團員Cathy Lucas、把玩小喇叭/鍵盤/鍾琴/口風琴的Leon Beckenham、貝斯/合音Justin Finch、專司鼓手/打擊手的Amos Memon等，共5位多才多藝的好手所組成。2006年開始出沒於倫敦一些小型俱樂部中表演，同時發行獨立廠牌的作品。2009年，正式推出進軍國際的首張專輯“Reservoir”，打從製作人、攝影師、封面拍照主角都相當有看頭。音樂風格清新卻也異常豐富，成為少數於商業市場大受歡迎的Indie軍團。

Fanfarlo延續前作理念的第二次出擊“Rooms Filled With Light”，請來備受矚目的製作新銳Ben Allen (Gnarls Barkley、Animal Collective、Deerhunter)全權操盤。團員們企圖找尋各個樂器間彼此發揮的可能性，延伸出更多光明和黑暗面，對於現代生活所引發出的種種壓力，一次做個徹底釋放！由提琴拉出催眠式頻率的「Replicate」，隨後加上堆疊和聲以及Simon情緒起伏的演繹，最後迅速停入見好即收的結尾，獲得獨立電台的極大迴響，也是第一波主打的熱門優選；順暢無比的旋律勾勒「Deconstruction」動人圖像，小心翼翼地混搭Synthpop輕巧節拍，舞動感滿溢地散發順耳耐聽之奇情音樂酵素；光彩明亮的「Shiny Things」，通入細微電量補充，重溫新浪潮時期的美好，又能品嚐Fanfarlo張力十足的特有魅力；如同置身度假村無壓感的「Feathers」，不譁眾取寵且復古到底的編曲，又特別串連足以使聆聽者嘴角上揚的趣緻橋段，讓人流連忘返、一聽再聽！■2012.03■

Emerging from London, England in the mid- to late 2000s as an up-and-coming indie pop band, Fanfarlo got their name out with a series of singles, a strong Internet presence, and an engaging live show that took them as far as the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. Citing influences such as Broken Social Scene, Pavement, Neutral Milk Hotel, Olivia Tremor Control, Belle & Sebastian, and Sufjan Stevens, the band is comprised of Simon Balthazer (vocals), Mark West (guitar), Leon Beckenham (trumpet), Cathy Lucas (violin), Justin Finch (bass), and Amos Memon (drums). They released their first single, Talking Backwards, in 2006 on Fortuna Pop. It was followed by You Are One of the Few Outsiders Who Really Understands Us/In the Trunk (2007, Fandango), Fire Escape/We Live by the Lake (2007, White Heat Records), and Harold T. Wilkins (2008, Felt Tip Records). The band released its debut album, Reservoir, in 2009. In 2012, Fanfarlo returned with its more synth and new wave-inspired sophomore effort, Rooms Filled with Light.
