July 17, 2019 - Austin, TX - Psychedelic/grunge band Megafauna are premiering their video for "Is There Anything Else" exclusively today via BTR Today. Stream HERE. "Shot on Super 8 film, the video feels familiar yet strange", BTR Today notes. "The band's primal rock sound and Neff's other-worldly vocals create an alien sound that transports listeners to new realms." "Is There Anything Else" is taken from the band's latest album, Ghost Coast, which was described by Austin Chronicle as a mix of "exploratory psychedelia and aggro post-punk." Ghost Coast is available for purchase/streaming everywhere now. For more information on Megafauna, please visit: http://www.megafaunamusic.com.
Led by singer/shredder Dani Neff, who was dubbed the "next Annie Clark" by Phoenix New Times, Megafauna blend raw garage energy, prog-rock flash and infectious riffs into a sound that is just as face-melting as it is melodic. To date, they've released four albums, leading to praise from Noisey, Stereogum, The Austin Chronicle, Consequence of Sound and more, and support slots with artists like Cursive, Wavves, White Denim, Mission of Burma, Mineral and All them Witches.
Most recently, Megafauna released their fifth LP, Ghost Coast, on 5/24. Most of the album was recorded from May 2017 to Fall 2018 at Tiny Telephone-an all analog studio in San Francisco-with producers, James Riotto (John Vanderslice, Shannon and the Clams) and Curtis Roush (The Bright Light Social Hour) while the Camp Fire Wildfire raged around them. Amid destruction both physical and political, Megafauna explore themes of solitude and the search for fulfillment and connection in a world that seems to be on the brink of destruction.
Ghost Coast, the latest album from Megafauna, is available for purchase/streaming everywhere now.
