*Crammed Discs is pleased to release "Megafaun"*
'Megafaun' is the follow-up to MEGAFAUN's critically acclaimed, 'Gather, Form & Fly'.
First media reactions to the new album include Band To Watch in Rolling Stone US, new album announcement on Pitchfork, 4 stars review in Q Magazine UK, 4 stars review in Rolling Stone Germany and sneak preview on Topspion (DE).
To assign the music on 'Megafaun' a genre would be a futile; the band has long been hailed for its diverse musical conversations, but this record creates a unique language all its own. The album's 14 tracks range from raw, unhurried rock & roll to cacophonous percussive blasts, from brassy instrumental free jazz to mournful delta blues. The band-Joe Westerlund and brothers Phillip and Bradley Cook-recorded the album late last year at April Base in Fall Creek, Wisconsin, the studio of former bandmate Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), and produced it themselves along with BJ Burton.
Crammed Discs, under exclusive license from Hometapes,
is pleased to release "Megafaun" as a beautiful embossed digisleeve CD. Only £7.99 (9€)!
