Fauns
Fauns 2xLP
Deep Space Recordings
First pressing of 500 copies on black (300 copies) and pink (200 copies) vinyl. Absolutely gorgeous and stunning stuff from Bristol, paying 100% pure homage to early 90s shoegaze (Slowdive, MBV, Chapterhouse, etc) with breathy female vocals, hazy keyboards, reverby guitars. The gentler side of dreampop as opposed to overdriven guitars. Totally blissful, and one of the best albums of the genre in some time! Initially a three piece in 2007, The Fauns are now firmly established as a live six piece fronted by vocalist Alison Garner. Last year the band released their highly acclaimed debut album "The Fauns" on Laser Ghost Recordings and have been promoting it with both electric and acoustic shows. Early versions of their tracks have appeared on "The Secret Garden" and "Just Like A Daydream" compilations. As their profile grows The Fauns have received air play from BBC Radio 6's Steve Lamacq and have recorded an acoustic session for BBC Radio Bristol Introducing. The Fauns have played alongside legendary bands such as The Telescopes, The Durutti Column and The Pastels and were remixed by Robert Hampson from Loop. They continue to get high profile support slots recently playing an after show for Snow Patrol. They are currently recording material for a follow up album which is due in September. 2010 will see many more dates around the UK and a European tour with The Telescopes lined up for the autumn.
