Known for their literary smarts and bookish charm, Fanfarlo, the UK five-piece, create a heart-wrenchingly beautiful world on their debut album, Reservoir. The band plays a live free mini concert at Amoeba Records in the Haight at 2pm on November 22nd prior to their concert later that night at the Rickshaw Stop.

Produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol) at his home studio in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Reservoir employs an array of instruments to create each lushly arranged track, including saws, clarinets, cellos, mandolins, ukuleles, and melodicas. N

Upon the initial release of the album and their appearance at 2009’s SXSW, the blogosphere was instantly set ablaze. Fans were also quickly won over at tastemaker radio stations such as NPR, whose Bob Boilen has named Reservoir his #1 of the year thus far and hailed, “My adoration for this band grows with every repeat. The melodies are full of emotion and the way the songs hang together is delicate and powerful.”
