Durham, NC’s Megafaun, known for their psych-folk experimentations, gorgeous soundscapes, lush vocals and pastoral instrumentation, released their third full-length, Megafaun. This time around the trio – brothers Phil and Brad Cook, and Joe Westerlund – eschew the formal exploration of texture, arrangement and sonics for what Phil Cook describes as an organic yet straightforward songwriting process. With each album, Megafaun demonstrates their evolution as a band; not in giant leaps (they are too talented for that) but in finely crafted nuances and rich complexities. Standout tracks include “Serene Return”, “Get Right”, and “Resurrection.” – Written by JFelton
