Frykdahl is known for his work with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Idiot Flesh.Dan Rathbun of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (Bass Guitar)
and others.Performance
McCarthy's performances draw on many influences, from British, Scandinavian, Appalachian and Eastern European music.The Transit Rider
The current (2006) project by Faun Fables is an ambitious performance and multimedia documentation of a song cycle entitled "The Transit Rider".Now, under the auspices of Faun Fables, McCarthy and Frykdahl offer one of the most stunning discs of the year: Mother Twilight, a collection of songs inspired by McCarthy's 1997 solo trek through Europe."The people told me I was mad ...Pan, the Greek god of forest and meadow, a Dionysian reveler with a lusty streak of abandon.She wraps her voice around the lyrics with a soulful longing both melancholic and full of hope.Frykdahl ornaments lightly with a wistful melody on the recorder.Sometimes the shadows peek out at you shyly from behind trees or bushes.Mother Twilight (a traveler's tale) I travelled alone in Europe the summer of '97 with many questions.Dan Rathburn offered to get all its kinks out on his mixing board.This is the recording I've put out on my own.She fed on music by Kate Bush, Bjork, David Bowie and Duran Duran, while growing up in Japan.Added influences include Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, Moto Hagio, Nanami Shiono, Ann Rice, Tannins Leeand, and HP Lovecraft.Tobago, Guyana, Venezuela and America.To Place an order, note Title and cat.Join The Street Team
On Sale!Backed Players, but At What Cost?Backed Players, but At What Cost?Lost art or horrible slaughter?Even compared to previous Fables platters, it's hard to hang a name on this Table.Though relatively short, A Table Forgotten is a mature, dense, and provocative piece of work deserving of several focused listens.
