German medieval folk act Faun are getting ready to set out on their first ever North American tour starting this Thursday at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA. The impending trek is a special event for North American fans who have eagerly awaited the chance to experience Faun’s music live.
Here’s more info from a press release:
In the lead-up to the 12-date outing, Faun, who have seen their last five albums certified Gold and Platinum in their native Germany, and their YouTube videos viewed over 225 million times, have released “Tamlin and the Fairy Queen” (https://shorturl.at/VAN3D). The six-minute offering is the band’s first new song, and video, since the release of their album, Pagan. Reviews for the 2022 collection noted a “return to the very dark world of old pagan myths and nature religions” (Power Metal), and the introduction of period instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, moraharpa, bagpipes, and harp.
The band add:
’Tam Lin’ is a traditional English folk ballad that tells the tale of a young man captured by the Fairy Queen. While only the first part of the song is typically recounted, the second part, where he is rescued from the Fair Queen’s enchantment, is even more magical. ‘Tamlin and the Fairy Queen’ is our English interpretation of ‘Tamlin,’” which we released on our album, Pagan.
