DFTD’s Favorite Albums of 2009: Fanfarlo, Reservoir
Earlier this year, both allenskyy and I, separately and without consultation, posted different songs off Fanfarlo’s debut album Reservoir (1,2). Well, actually, I just spaced that month and missed a bunch of posts, allenskyy’s Fanfarlo post included. So when I discovered this awesome Bowie-trumpeted album, I thought, heck, this should make a great DFTD post. Little did i know it already had.
And it does again, because with this post I am solidifying Fanfarlo, Reservoir’s place among Don’t Forget to Dance’s Favorite Albums of 2009. It’s just what the doctor ordered for that too-long gap between Arcade Fire and Beirut albums.
Strap on your New Years hats and red suspenders cuz there’s only one more day to go in 2009 and there’s no way better to start the celebration than dancing along to Fanfarlo’s “The Walls Are Coming Down”.
The ships the ships are coming in,
The great ideas are wearing thin,
There is nothing left to do.
