Megafaun

Add Date: October 18 

Artist: Megafaun 

Album: Megafaun 

Label: Hometapes 

Genre: Folk, psychedelic, jazz 

Comments: Before you read this, understand that this album does not fit nicely into descriptions from the boundary-filled English language (especially with my limited skillz).

Megafaun is anything but your traditional folk-rock band, and their new self-titled album only proves this characterization more. The entire scale of musical accessibility is present on this album; from lovable pop to cacophonous noise, Megafaun perfectly expresses complete disregard for boundaries.

This album is a psychedelic, alt-country, experimental extravaganza. You can't help but be moved by the melodious beauty of some songs. Others will leave you astonished by the musical talent oozing from the complex jazz compositions (see track 5). And yet others will leave you wondering what just happened to your ears; were they overwhelmed? Violated? Blessed? Tough to tell.

Start with 6, 7, 2 and 1.
