Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square . The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament) and spacey explorations (see the second half of "Find Your Mark") into epic barber-shop Americana.

With the recent and explosive success of Justin Vernon’s solo project, Bon Iver, it’s difficult to imagine many people asking about the fate of the other members of Vernon’s previous band, DeYarmond Edison [these people shouldn't be allowed to name bands -Ed.].

Hearing Megafaun on record is one thing; seeing them live is another. Brad Cook, Phil Cook and Joe Westerlund whip up some of the most intriguing music nightly on stage that you could ask for in a live performance. They’ll be playing plenty at SXSW including Thursday at AD and MOKB’s Vaya Con [...]
