Let's Go Extinct

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
London indie / alternative band, Fanfarlo, returns with their third album, LET'S GO EXTINCT. LET'S GO EXTINCT could be seen as a concept album about human evolution and possible futures, if it weren't more entertaining and beautiful than that could ever imply. Yes, it does grapple with the big questions, but always with a glint in it's eye, a sense that nothing could ever be weirder than the truth, and a stirring chorus just about to break. In it's way, LET'S GO EXTINCT is the true successor to the band's much-feted debut, RESERVOIR. Having cast off the colder, more synthetic feel of their second record, ROOMS FILLED WITH LIGHT, LET'S GO EXTINCT is the sound of the band cutting lose from all expectation, and just letting whatever's going to come, come. In doing so, they may just have made the record of their lives.

REVIEW
London-based pop music collective Fanfarlo return with their third album, ''Let's Go Extinct,'' and not a moment too soon. There aren't many bands that can combine the ambitions of progressive rock storytelling with the kind of hook-friendly accessibility demanded by today's oft-distracted music listener at least there are few who can without sounding either pretentious or way out of their element (to me, they resemble a very European Okkervil River). Fanfarlo do it with ease, and the folky elements blend nicely with the contemporary production sounds on all of their releases, but maybe best yet on this new record. Now a five-piece, the band stretch out nicely here, such as on ''Cell Song'' (with its hints of Robert Plant's ''Big Log'') or the album's closer, the title cut, ''Let's Go Extinct.'' Others throb with New Wave quirkiness, such as ''A Distance,'' which betrays the sound of '80s NYC with an Arthur Russell minimalist disco-vibe married to a David Byrne-esque vocal (and a nice retro sax tag to boot!). All in all, it is a great record to go exploring in, with themes that express a wide scope, from cellular beginnings to extinct futures. - --Eric J. Lawrence, KCRW, Feb 3, 20104
