Faun Fables – Born Of The Sun (2LP)

‘Born of the Sun’ is mostly a set of original songs composed by the pair. Several traditional folk instruments are used along with occasional rock instruments. For the most part, however, the sound is acoustic and well produced. Even though it is acoustic, there are several parts for many various instruments which keeps things varied and interesting throughout, even though there is very little percussion throughout the album. The sound is also a bit dark, similar to ‘Woven Hand’, but the theme is more of a pagean theme, not a religious theme like ‘Woven Hand’.
Overall, this is another great project that is completely different from other projects Nils has been involved in and also one that showcases Dawn’s beautiful vocals and instrumental styles. It is a definite band and album to listen to, but just know that the sounds are very folkish and carry the theme of witchery, but not to an overbearing extent.
