Musick To Play In The Dark (Dais Records). Review by Matthew Moyer.

The question on Matthew Moyer’s mind, when checking out the trimmed-down version of Cult of Youth, was this: will they still be able to pull off the rich hues and near-psychedelic textures of this album? The answer: a resounding YES!

Flutes, leather vests on bare skin, werewolf songs, and kids on stage. It’s not your average recipe for a rock show, but then, as Matthew Moyer points out, Faun Fables is not a rock band.

Procedure Club’s Andrea and Adam Malec released Doomed Forever in late 2010, and then Slumberland Records came a calling. Now they’re getting the attention they deserve, including some from Matthew Moyer , who chatted with sound mastermind Adam Malec about Death In June, the proper way to play a drum machine, and the importance of not getting it right when recording.
