The first single from Fables' debut album, "Change Is a Slow-Moving Beast," ‘Sundown’ resides in the liminal zone between clarity and disorientation. Inspired by the metaphor of day turning into night, the song’s ambient country shape braids dreamy guitar figures and a sturdy rhythm section with oblique lyrics and melodies that stretch out beyond the horizon.

Fables

Sundown

West Auckland Folk Band Fables produce a gentle and heartfelt indie-folk sound which could warm even the coldest of hearts.  Jess Bailey’s childhood was spent on twenty-one acres of land in the outskirts of Auckland. She was taught by the Mackenzie Hills of the south Kaipara, dredged in the waters of Muriwai Beach then hung out to dry in the plum trees at home.  This imagery is littered throughout the bands wistful lyrics and authentic songs.
