Faun and A Pan Flute’s second album, simply titled 2014-2016, captures a peculiar energy amassing on the cusp of major transition. The group was living at the moment just before a flashpoint, aesthetically, stylistically and personally, which translates to a greater sense of chemistry than anything the group has displayed on record before. The album arrives as a natural conclusion to a chapter in Faun’s impressionistic jazz, rock, and modern classical music hybrids. It also sets up a pivotal next move to step off the diving board and plunge deeper into the musical vocabulary the group has created. And it is a singular language that’s growing more complex. Nothing is frivolously rendered here. But the focus on the personal strengthens the group’s hive mind as well. There’s an elevated level of collaborative intuition taking place, and that’s where Faun and A Pan Flute hits full stride. (Label: Self-released)
