Download: Noah & the MegaFauna, ‘On and On’

1

Noah & the MegaFauna haven’t had any issues coming out of the gate with an unusual but sophisticated flair. The brainchild of Noah Lit (formerly of indie-rock band Oliver Future), the 10-piece band’s debut “Anthems for a Stateless Nation” offers a palette that swings from jazz to gypsy-rock to carnival sounds, and their latest single “On and On” goes even disparately further with sweeping lines played on Chinese violin for a world music touch. You’d never know all these songs had an apocalyptic theme as Lit’s vocals glide along with the elegant arrangements, but it’s hard not to enjoy the clever juxtaposition once you uncover the hidden message.
