Durham's Megafaun had one hell of a 2009. Releasing a great album in Gather, Form and Fly, garnering praise from respected media outlets such as Pitchfork.com and touring with acts such as Bon Iver, the experimental folkies made a splash in the minds of people outside the Tar Heel state. It makes good sense that the band would figure prominently in Dive's top ten lists for 2009, which you can all check out tomorrow in Dive's first issue of the new year. A great example of Megafaun's prowess is "The Process," a cut of of Gather. Rattling along on trash-can alley percussion, banjo and guitar, it combines the smooth side of country with the more aggressive edge of experimental folk with incredible dexterity. So, sit back, relax and enjoy a gem from one of North Carolina's rising stars.
