The End of The Road Festival: A Review

It is true to say that our first visit to the End of the Road Festival last year was without doubt the best music event (bar SxSW) we had ever attended. A superb line-up, brilliant layout, and festival goers who were there for the music rather than the ‘experience’ ensured three days of superb entertainment. It meant we bought tickets immediately they went on sale … Continue reading The End of The Road Festival: A Review

New Album From Megafaun

Our favourite mega-bearded folkies, Megafaun will release their new, self-titled album on September 20th via Hometapes. They describe it thus: “Process, songcraft, and toss-and-turn emotion collided when Megafaun’s Joe Westerlund looped together field recordings from his travels in Bali and rural North Carolina: a round-robin of gamelan, ambient sounds, frogs, and cicadas underpin a hauntingly indelible piano melody and a hypnotic beat.” The new album’s 14 … Continue reading New Album From Megafaun

Solo Album from Phil Cook of Megafaun

However, when Phil Cook isn’t touring the world with Megafaun, he’s on the porch. Specifically, the sunny porch of his North Carolina home, playing acoustic guitar while Willie, his loyal dog, lays by. New solo album, Hungry Mother Blues was recorded in … Continue reading Solo Album from Phil Cook of Megafaun

New from Megafaun

Carolina Days is from Megafaun’s forthcoming mini-album Heretofore.

So discover it and cling on to the last days of the dwindling summer…. Visit their MySpace here. Download … Continue reading New from Megafaun
