FANFARLO
"Fanfarlo are a London based six-piece formed around Swedish exile Simon Aurell. Straying from the standard guitar based line-up, they incorporate a whole host of ... (more) acoustic instruments including trumpet, mandolin, violin, saw, glockenspiel and homemade contraptions in their lush folk-tinged songs that sound like the school marching band got lost in the woods and decided to have a disco. Influenced by artists like Broken Social Scene, Sufjan Stevens, Beirut, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Verlaines and Neutral Milk Hotel, the music is not based on fashion or fad, but instead they are creating timeless pop songs, telling stories, melting your heart and making you dance." --RCRD LBL

FREELANCE WHALES
Freelance Whales found one another in late 2008, in Queens, amidst a strange amalgam of unfamiliar instruments, and precariously arranged pop songs. Using whatever musical gadgets they happened upon (mostly harmonium, banjo, glockenspiel, synthesizers, guitars, bass, drums, waterphone), the five members worked at crafting songs with interlocking rhythmic patterns, lush textural layering, and an engaged group-vocal energy. "Amazingly, Freelance Whales are even more arresting live than they are on record. They exhibit the exuberance of a young band that feels lucky to be sharing ideas with their audience" -Earfarm

THE MUMLERS
"Armed with their collection of vintage instruments, the seven members of the haphazard indie-folk collective feature every instrument under the sun: French horn, guitars, drums, upright bass, keyboards, trumpet, pedal steel and the tambourine, to name a few. They're well-known for their strong live shows, and are rumored to bust into spontaneous dance spasms while performing songs influenced by everything from Bob Dylan to Southern soul." --Noise Pop
