Counterclockwise (2LP) (Vinyl)

Faun Fables, the long-running collaboration between Dawn McCarthy and Nils Frykdahl, have returned with Counterclockwise, the follow-up to 2016’s Born of the Sun. With the longest space between albums in the band’s twenty-seven year history, the nature of time and experience spent raising a family and negotiating life’s changes have much to do with the incredible listening companion Faun Fables have gifted us here.

Faun Fables’ most encompassing collection of “songtelling” to date: a true family album, etched exquisitely and studded with fine-hewed jewels of song. The richly lived-in atmosphere is a sonic world unto itself. Timeless folk music, warmly redolent of traditions passed down in an eternal recurrence that promises renewal – the a joyous counterclockwise movement spread over generation upon generation.
