We are really honored this week to be able to talk about ancient music traditions with Oliver S. Tyr lead singer of the band Faun, as well as discuss their new single "Tamlin". Together with Mathias and Daniel he will be discussing the new surge of interest in pagan traditions and music because of the popular show "Vikings", as well as sharing stories of the early days of the band. Some highlights include: Oliver's surprising pre-Faun career, the latest unique instrument he acquired from (of all places) Colorado, and the difficulty of attracting the attention of modern ears using traditional sounds.
