A band always ahead of its time, pagan folk magicians FAUN have released new single Lament, a track paying homage to the mournful power of myth, ritual, and grief, in this reimagination of an old pre-Christian mourning song from northern England. Through the multi-layered vocals and drumming, the band is making an offering to a modern audience to rekindle millennia-old emotions.
FAUN comments: “With a choir of four singers from FAUN, with hurdy-gurdy, flute, key fiddle and lure (Celtic long trumpet), we dedicated this song to their friend and sound engineer, Jürgen Schneider, who tragically passed away in 2023, after more than ten years of travelling and concerts together.”
