Faun Fables Share New Single "Widdershins"; New Album 'Counterclockwise' out May 30

Time is ticking, and Faun Fables’s new album only gets closer every second! Counterclockwise is their most engrossing collection of “songtelling” to date: a true family album, etched exquisitely and studded with fine-hewed jewels of song, recorded by Dawn McCarthy and Nils Frykdahl with their daughters, Edda, Ura, and Gudrin. A new song wheels out from their home today: “Widdershins”.

“Widdershins” is an ornately decorated folk epistle that shares an existential fundament of Faun Fables’ worldview — along with the title of their new album. To move against the grain has long been thought unlucky; as Dawn and Nils raise their family, they feel lucky to be vitalized by the strength of youth rather than the shades of aging. As they set about “unweaving the strands of time,” their vocals multiply, suggesting the majesty of the eternal recurrence.

The timeless folk music of Faun Fables is warmly redolent of traditions passed down in an eternal recurrence that promises renewal — a joyous counterclockwise movement spread over generation upon generation. Join the cycle and revel within Counterclockwise, out May 30, 2025, and see Faun Fables on tour this summer!
