Faun Fables, the long-running collaboration between Dawn McCarthy and Nils Frykdahl, have returned with Counterclockwise, the fol- low-up to 2016's Born of the Sun. With the longest space between albums in the band's twenty-seven year history, the nature of time and experience spent raising a family and negotiating life's changes have much to do with the incredible listening companion Faun Fables have gifted us here. Counterclockwise's songs and production are the most encompassing, richly lived-in sonic world of their seven full-length albums. From start to finish, it is an exquisitely etched portrait of their aesthetic and worldview: colorfully studded with fine-hewed jewels of song, tinged with the traditional sounds of past and future nations. Their timeless 'songtelling' practice is entwined with a holistic view of a life in music-embracing and celebrating the mun- dane details of home, partnering and family, elevated by a mystical and fantastical per- spective. The new discovery here is their cre- ative relationship with time. As Dawn notes in the album liner: 'Time... the most fertile & playful of mediums, though full of mist... We mustn't forget time offers itself first as something to be creatively shaped.' To this end, the title conception of 'counterclockwise' spins alternatively to the accepted definition of going against the grain of time. In the Faun family, the passage of time is an affirmative process evolving through old and new generations. Their time
