North Carolina has consistently been providing a great source of new discoveries here at Muzzle of Bees. Having been introduced to the Bowerbirds through Bon Iver and fellow North Carolina residents The Rosebuds, we just recently uncovered the beautiful (though complex) Megafaun, whose album Bury The Square should garner considerable attention in 2008.

Our favorite track from the six track Bury The Square is the final one, “Lazy Suicide.” A banjo-driven number that is sure to be embraced by fans of the Avett Brothers (another North Carolina outfit). The complexity referenced above calls to attention the similarities in sound to label mates and MoB approved Collections of Colonies of Bees, who received mixed reviews from you guys opening for Bon Iver recently in Milwaukee.

Megafaun release Bury The Square through Table of the Elements on February 19th.
