Light Of A Vaster Dark Faun Fables SKU: DC371 Barcode: 781484037118 14.00 £14.00 Genre: Folk Label: Drag City Released Date: 25th November 2010 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info 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.
