The Airportline: Observations

Airportline has had Fanfarlo's debut album from last year, Reservoir, on heavy rotation since getting hold of it in early December. After some hazy discussions over vegan food and underground rap music at OT301 here in Amsterdam it was decided that we should try and see if there are any good shows coming up in the city. This is something I normally do, but since my future has been in a constant flux the last few months I have not bothered investigating it very closely. But now, when I have tied up two jobs (one fun with very little money, and one less fun with ok money) which I will do parallel for the next couple of months I can start looking again. And, turns out that Fanfarlo is coming, on Tuesday, to Paradiso! Being lead by the distinct voice of fellow swede Simon Aurell this British folk-pop orchestra ends us sounding quite similar to Airportline favorites Noah And the Whale. Fanfarlo also brings the indie-crescendo masters Arcade Fire, and more acoustic and richly orchestrated folk-bands as Beirut, to mind. All in all it is a band that master to craft beautiful songs that should go down well in the rainy Amsterdam reality we exist in. This Sunday Airportline treets you to two acustic numbers with this wonderful little big band
