Faun Fables Announce New Album Counterclockwise: Hear “Ember Bell”

Faun Fables, the longstanding art-folk partnership of Dawn McCarthy and Nils Frykdahl, have another new LP ready to roll out this spring. Counterclockwise (now we know which direction it will be rolling) is coming at the end of May via Drag City. Some of the album’s songs resulted from commissioned projects about werewolves, Mother Goose, and other fairy tales, while others are about family. With that in mind, the album is a family affair; McCarthy and Frykdahl’s daughters, Edda, Ura, and Gudrin, each contribute vocals, and the project is dedicated to Dawn’s late father, Edward “Will” McCarthy.
