Pagan folk band FAUN are here with a new single ‘Lament’, a track that creates a sense of a darker undertone. With ‘Lament’ FAUN taps into the mournful power of myth, ritual, and grief, an old pre-Christian mourning song from the north of England.
The band have extended this song by a few verses and turned it into an epic and emotional dirge with choirs, drums and old instruments.
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.”
