Megafaun Artist Snapshot:

When Justin Vernon left Raleigh-by-way-of-Eau-Claire-Wisconsin indie folkers DeYarmond Edison to go on to late-`00s indie wunderkind status as Bon Iver, the remaining members of DE, Phil Cook, Brad Cook, and Joe Westerlund, carried on in North Carolina as Megafaun. With an impossible to pinpoint, laid back lo-fi sound incorporating Byrds-esque harmonies, elegiac folk-picking, and off-kilter instrumentation (think a rougher-around-the edges Fleet Foxes), Megafaun earned accolades beyond their feted former bandmate. 2009's GATHER, FORM & FLY earned near-universal rave reviews.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "There is acoustic grace....Megafaun's roots are familiar; the bloom is uniquely theirs."

Title Note

The relentless re-embrace of acoustic campfire ponderings and singalongs may seem a bit strange in the 21st century, but as far as indie folk progresses, there will always be a harkening back to some mythic lost paradise of the form. That said, Megafaun are just as taken by quietly tortured dark-night-of-the-soul whisperings, lo-fi oddities, and shards of feedback shade as they are of banjos and summertime evenings, giving GATHER, FORM AND FLY a bit of an unsettled edge at various points. Songs like "Kaufman's Ballad" and the slightly goony swirl of "Impressions of the Past," shifting from marches to piano breaks and more, make for more fun than the straightforward if attractive enough compositions like "Worried Mind" and "Solid Ground." At their strongest, as on the brawling, complex "The Process," the trio verges towards the explosive thrill of an act like Akron/Family if not quite reaching that act's effortless genre recombination.
