Description
RETROUVEZ FAUN FABLES en showcase exclusif le samedi 23 août 2025 @ BALADES SONORES
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.
Counterclockwise’s songs and production are the most encompassing, richly lived-in sonic world of their seven full-length albums. From start to finish, it is an exquisitely etched portrait of their aesthetic and worldview: colorfully studded with fine-hewed jewels of song, tinged with the traditional sounds of past and future nations.
Their timeless “songtelling” practice is entwined with a holistic view of a life in music—embracing and celebrating the mundane details of home, partnering and family, elevated by a mystical and fantastical perspective.
Dedicated with love to Dawn’s late father, Edward ‘Will’ McCarthy, Counterclockwise is an evocation of the essential truth and joy of Faun Fables’ relationship with time, the greatest value they can imagine to give to anyone who listens to their music.
