2010 release from the Oakland-based musical project led by Dawn McCarthy. Light Of A Vaster Dark sparkles with fear, wonder and playfulness, elements that  have been part of the tapestry of Faun Fables' music woven slowly over the course  of five previous records. They have stood at the fork in the road where the myths of  men and women meet the realities of their days, and with each album they go  further down these paths. Light of A Vaster Dark meditates on the cyclical nature of  light and darkness as revealed in the seasons of life, and in the beautiful power of  steadfast and humble tales of housekeeping, immigrant pioneers and a civic  parade.
