After a decade’s silence, the Bristol-based shoegaze ensemble, @thefaunsofficial, are back, bringing with them echoes of a past both cherished and reinvented. Their eagerly awaited third album, ‘How Lost’, set to release on 19th Jan 2024, promises a journey through time and sound. The band recently unveiled their latest release – ‘Mixtape Days’ – a single that’s not just a song, but a time capsule, transporting us to the indie and new wave era of late-eighties London. Remember the days when life’s soundtrack was a 120-minute mixtape? The Fauns do, and they’re here to rekindle those memories. 📼

Their musical odyssey, beginning with their self-titled debut in 2009 and the celebrated ‘Lights’ in 2013, has been a path of constant evolution. Now, ‘How Lost’ marks a bold departure from their earlier work. It’s an album where shoegaze meets the unexpected – think intricate guitar-driven sci-fi fantasies meeting industrial-tinged new wave, all layered over gritty, pulsating electro beats. It’s a daring blend, a dance between the familiar and the avant-garde, and it’s quintessentially The Fauns.
