Following sold-out shows at London’s ULU, rapturously received shows at this year’s SxSW festival and support on the Mumford & Sons UK tour, Fanfarlo have announced details of the release of their new single, which comes with some eclectic remixes.
Taken from their debut album Reservoir and released through Atlantic Records on Monday July 12th 2010 – Fire Escape will feature radical reworkings by Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), Tom Furse (The Horrors), Toro Y Moi and The Time & Space Machine (Richard Norris), as well as a new single mix from Tom Elmhirst (Amy Winehouse, Jonsi).
The single will be accompanied by a stunning, black-as-ink, video, directed by Jamie Thraves (Radiohead, Coldplay), which will be premiered on the US blog site Stereogum on June 8. Two different endings have been shot, one ‘happy’ the other ‘unhappy’, although, concerning with suicide, cults and human vulnerability, both could be seen as thoughtful ruminations on staring into the abyss.
Meanwhile, the band are set to confirm of a very special tiny London show around the release of Fire Escape and their biggest UK headline tour to date in the autumn within the next few days.

Throughout the summer Fanfarlo can also be seen appearing at festivals in Japan, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Belgium, Holland, Spain, Italy, Iceland and across America.
Elsewhere the band recently made a series of engaging short films with experimental US film-maker Brain Gonzalez. A cut above your average on-the-road doc, a snippet of the conceptual films based around their appearances at this year’s SxSW Festival will be shortly made available to view via their site.
Finally, an exclusive, brand new song, ‘Atlas’, recorded with Mike McCarthy (Trail of Dead, Spoon), appears on the forthcoming Twilight movie and OST, which is released on June 7th, while ‘The Walls Are Coming Down’ is currently being used in a high-profile Canon Powershot camera ad across the UK and Europe.
Fire Escape, the new single from Fanfarlo will be released on 12th July
