Stream the Full Album Below!
"Megafauna's most imaginative and ambitious record to date, like St. Vincent for people who love the Melvins."
- Consequence of Sound 

"If their sound must be compared to another, it would be like if Björk had a jam session with a love child of The Animals and Black Sabbath." -  Bust Magazine 
 
"Psychedelic excursion"
- Spin Magazine 
                                         
"...a slowly built Jenga tower in which one piece gets pulled and an all-out rhythmic assault ensues."
- Stereogum

"Equal parts challenging and accessible, Welcome Home rewards close attention but works effortlessly as ear candy."
- Austin Chronicle
​

"Intriguingly trippy..."
- Austin American-Statesman

"...brings together styles that have been utilized on their past releases, yet it creates something that is entirely new for them"
- Glide Magazine

"The rapid vacillation from vulnerable to fierce, soft to hard, is striking. This sound, very aggressive, but also very feminine, is a signature for Megafauna."
                - Deborah Sengupta Stith (Austin American Statesman)

Tour Life 
June 8, 2015


Day 5 of tour.  It's been pretty awesome so far.  We started in Houston and played this DIY space called the Summit with our buds the Beans. A highlight was the massive Mexican meal before the show.  Nola was the jam, as it always is.  We played Gasa Gasa on Freret Street with our homies Cardinal Sons and Bantam Foxes.  I ran into some friends from Austin and a dude came that had seen us a few years ago at Dragons Den.  The next day we had off and played with my friend Mary's dog, Macintosh, and chilled by the pool.  Good times, Nola.  

Next stop Athens!

Hugs from an endless Gulf highway.

5 Tracks Done!
May  30, 2015


Wooo!  We're done with tracking for five tracks off our upcoming album!  We've had a blast with TBLSH, experimenting with electric guitar run through a Leslie (YES a Leslie!), synths, cello and of course, shaker and tambourine. Zack even sang harmonies. Good times were had.  

Stay tuned for new tunes!

Beauties, 
Our video for This Town premiered today in Pop Matters!!  Check it out here.   I co-directed and starred in it and got to cover myself in paint. Thanks to all of you who came out to be in the hallucination scene and everyone who helped make this happen!

We're Recording Again!!!

February 6, 2015

Hi friends,
We're recording another LP!!  We're recording out in Lake Travis with our buds in The Bright Light Social Hour.  It's been epic. We're playing on sweet vintage gear and it's sounding huge (if I do say so myself ha). I'm playing through a 1964 Vox AC 30 and a 1958 Fender Deluxe. Keep your ears peeled for a new record.  So excited to share these new tunes with you!

xoxo
-Dani
