Finally, the hot summer yodel jam you didn’t know you’d been waiting for is here! Dawn McCarthy and Nils Frykdahl, the psych-folk masterminds behind Faun Fables, are back with a new album on Drag City. Called Born of the Sun, the album is out July 22, and it promises tunes inspired by theater, folklore, and… yodeling.
Of course, there’s no better way to celebrate an album release than by touring, and so our good woodland-loving friends will be taking to the dusty backroads, desolate highways, and clogged city streets of North America for a summer tour. They’ll kick things off in Los Angeles before venturing into the North, the South, the Midwest, and one extra special Canadian date.
