Faun Fables - Light Of A Vaster Dark (CD, Vinyl LP)

· Out of the glittering caverns of the soul crawls the
sixth release of Drag City recording artists Faun
Fables.

· ‘Light Of A Vaster Dark’, a vibrant collection of
songs and sounds excavated by songwriter Dawn
McCarthy and supported by steadfast collaborator
Nils Frykdahl of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.

· This album sparkles with fear, wonder and
playfulness and it meditates on the cyclical nature
of light and darkness as revealed in the seasons of
life, and in the beautiful power of steadfast and
humble things.

· Amidst the solid, elemental structure of McCarthy
and Frykdahl’s guitars and eclectic percussion whirl
the violins of Meredith Yayanos and the multiinstrumental
touches & vocals of Kirana Peyton; a
continuation of the lush work with them from the
2008 EP release ‘A Table Forgotten’ (Drag City).
Driven bass clarinets and shakuhachi flutes from
Cornelius Boots and the rich harmonica tones of
Mark Stikman complete the sound, with McCarthy’s
vocals at the helm, leading the swirling hive
through the air like a Valkyrie with the point of a
blade.
