Fanfarlo is a London-based indie pop band formed in 2006 by Swedish musician Simon Balthazar. Their sound fuses elements of folk, indie rock and post punk using eclectic instrumentation including trumpet, violin, mandolin, musical saw and clarinet.

The band, whose name comes from the Charles Baudelaire novella “La Fanfarlo,” started performing live in small London indie clubs in 2006, and released four limited edition 7” singles on London-based indie labels (one of which a split single with Sleeping States) throughout 2006-2008.

Their debut album, “Reservoir,” was recorded in October/November 2008 at Tarquin Studios, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and was produced by Peter Katis (The National, Interpol). The album was released in February 2009 on the band's own Raffle Bat label and later licensed to the Atlantic imprint Canvasback, who released it in the U.K. and U.S. in October 2009 and in Europe in April 2010.

Their sophomore album, “Room Filled with Light,” was released in February 2012 and featured the promotional single, “Replicate.”
