3 stars Counterclockwise by Faun Fables is a great eclectic folk album from married musicians Nils Frykdahl & Dawn McCarthy. Keeping the eclectic nature of his Sleepytime Gorilla Museum ability, Frykdahl's vocals and music accompaniment bodes well with the beauty of McCarthy's pleasant tone and melody, with great harmonies between the 2. Imagine if The Incredible String Band, Current 93 & Fairpoint Convention had a baby and you kind of get the idea. Their cover of Yes's Wondrous Stories sounds very eerily to the original, with Dawn McCarthy's phrasing and tone being very similar to Jon Anderson's original performance. I'd give this a low to mid 7 out of 10. The track I'd recommend is Washing Song.
