New Music From The Fauns
The Fauns deliver 'Road Meets Sky.'
As 2009 dwindles down to its last petering gasp, it has become increasingly clear that this is the year that many many bands rediscovered a little known secret known as the Oxford band Ride. Whether it be The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, or the more thunderous A Place To Bury Strangers; the blatant influence of melodious shoegazers Ride could be felt melting the back of your brain.
Forming in Bristol in 2007, The Fauns have a most pleasant sound. Vocalist Allison Garner has a breathy, angelic and candied delivery - blending ever so nicely with a thinly formed wall of fuzz and jangle. Latest single, "Road Meets Sky," is as instant as a cup of Nescafe.
Look out for new material early 2010.
