FAUN FABLES have been trailblazers of avant-folk/original music since the turn of the century; known for exquisite, visceral songs & live shows and the occasional theater piece. Their work became internationally widespread by 2004 with the DRAG CITY RECORDS debut FAMILY ALBUM; they will release their eighth record with Drag City on May 30th 2025, ‘COUNTERCLOCKWISE’, the first video single being EMBER BELL .
DAWN McCARTHY’s voice (which THE NEW YORKER described as “one of the more compelling instruments in contemporary music”) opens hearts and minds from a whisper to a rallying battle cry into her mythical world, animated by the adventurous musicality and vocals of partner NILS FRYKDAHL (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum). Their daughters, growing up alongside the writing, recording and touring since babies, now join them with additional vocals, percussion, keyboards and theatrical dance. FAUN FABLES has shared stages with Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, John Paul Jones, Joanna Newsom, Devotchka, Old Time Relijun, Dresden Dolls, Jah Wobble, Devendra Banhart, Regina Spekter, Anohni & the Johnsons, Baby Dee . Dawn is also known for her collaborations with BONNIE ‘PRINCE’ BILLY on the albums ‘THE LETTING GO’ (Drag City, 2006 ) and the Nashville record ‘WHAT THE BROTHERS SANG’ (Drag City, 2013 ) . FAUN FABLES currently hang their hats in Nevada County, California.
