BUY TICKETS
Dawn McCarthy’s voice (which THE NEW YORKER described as “one of the more compelling instruments in contemporary music”) opens hearts and minds from a whisper to a rallying battle cry into her mythical world, animated by the adventurous musicality and vocals of partner Nils Frykdahl (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum). Their daughters- growing up alongside the writing, recording and touring since infancy- now join them with vocals, flutes, keyboard, bass, percussion & dance. Guitarist/singer Arild Hammerø joins them from Norway with his elemental guitar work that is featured on their new album ‘COUNTERCLOCKWISE’.
Troubadours of animist, avant-folk since 1998, FAUN FABLES are known for exquisite, visceral adventures in songwriting, live shows and theater.
Their work became internationally widespread by 2004 with their Drag City Records debut ‘FAMILY ALBUM’ (2004). For over two decades, the group has seasonally toured grass roots, night club, theater & festival circuits in the USA and Europe (including stints in the UK & Oceania.) Their new album ‘COUNTERCLOCKWISE’ marks their eighth release with Drag City; the songs and production offer the most encompassing, richly lived-in sonic world of all their releases. Their timeless ‘songtelling’ practice is entwined with a holistic view of a life in music – celebrating the mundane details of home and family, elevated by a mystical and fantastical perspective. FAUN FABLES are currently based in Nevada County, California.
“The only way to experience a group this vast, colorful, and earthbound is to simply just listen. An excessive use of adjectives seems unjust. FAUN FABLES seamlessly draw from a spiritual and mythological realm to convey world sounds that are entrancing.” ~Sam Femino, PHOENIX NEW TIMES
“The main instrument here is McCarthy’s astonishing voice which she uses to build up layers of fantastic imagery pulled from the gigantic storybook inside her head. Echoes of ‘The Incredible String Band’ and even ‘The Great Society’ are present, but the wolf-haunted world that FAUN FABLES invites you to explore has been solely invented by McCarthy.” ~ THE WIRE (UK)
“One of the few people who have managed to carry magical thinking into adulthood, McCarthy writes songs that capture the terror and wonder of the natural world. . . I can’t think of a single act that’s done what Faun Fables does–not just sing about nature but actually sound like nature, in all its howling, beautiful ferocity.” ~ Monica Kendrick, CHICAGO READER
