Faun Fables - (Earthlight/Drag City)

Early Song
Ilana Kronick

One of the best parts about this current wave of neo-folk? Oldster indies like Drag City coolly strutting their stuff again. Sharing space on their proud new roster with Joanna Newsom and White Magic is Faun Fables, a fantastical, airy affair headed by Dawn "The Faun" McCarthy. She's part Grace Slick, part Catpower and all earth child, but her sense of song is ungrounded and lacking in gut. The album Early Song has tracks she recorded as a soloist between '94 and '98. It's solemn, meandering and overenunciated. Mother Twilight is a reissue from '01, at which point McCarthy had hooked up with Nils Frykdahl, whom she continues to work with. Similar to this year's Family Album, it's wispy and whimsical, but rarely the ethereal acoustic trip it's aiming to be.
