LIMITED EDITION TRANSPARENT RED VINYL
Release Date: 19th January 2024
"After a decade-long hiatus, Bristol-based shoegaze ensemble The Fauns have reemerged from their secret bunker with their eagerly anticipated third album, ‘How Lost’, set for release via Invada. The Fauns’ journey began in 2007, self-releasing their eponymous debut album in 2009, followed by the 2013 release of ‘Lights’. These two works garnered warm acclaim from both critics and fervent shoegaze-loving fanbase alike, arriving into an atmosphere rekindled by the return of My Bloody Valentine. This latest album bridges The Fauns’ transformation from their earlier incarnation to their current evolution. The tracks traverse a spectrum of styles, ranging from intricate, guitar-driven sci-fi fantasies to industrial- tinged new wave compositions. The hallmark shoegaze elements are now stretched over gritty pulsating electro beats. Moreover, the album marks a shift in lyrical themes and attitude. Poignant tracks coexist with narratives of vodka-infused nights in dimly lit clubs, reflecting a departure from introspection. “This album is less about the melancholy associated with the genre and more about getting our audience dancing,” say the band."
