Two Faun side projects issue tapes
Atlanta multi-instrumentalists show opposites ends of Faun’s spectrum with new cassettes.

Falling sturdily in-line with Faun and a Pan Flute’s prolific rate of new music, two side project’s from the group’s sprawling camp have just issued physical editions of previously-digital-only albums. The Daniel Bailey-led psych-kraut-pop meanderings of Carey’s VI (which we previously reported on last year) are now available on a stunningly designed cassette via Crash Symbols, a Morgantown, WV-based label that specializes in experimental forms of nearly every genre, be it electro-pop, left-field hip hop, mystic folk, and everything in-between. Stream VI again below.
Second up is the plastic-encased mini-reel-to-reel reissue of Reliefs, Adam Babar’s solo opus as Easily Suede. The nine sample-obsessed songs (which we also previewed last September) return here in full form as an edition-of-50 run of tapes courtesy of Dayvan Zombear, or DZ Tapes to the uninitiated. Stream Reliefs below.
