With Taiga Trans, Swedish outernational collective Fauna present a debut album that feels both ancient and futuristic - a hypnotic fusion of krautrock momentum, psychedelic ritualism and deep, subterranean rave energy. Their nine-piece line-up blends traditional acoustic instruments with modern electronic textures, creating a sound world that seems to exist outside of history and beyond genre boundaries. Solar-wind synth swirls, delicate percussion patterns, jaw-harp pulses and the taut twang of the Turkish saz collide with distorted guitars, powerful bass lines and driving four-to-the-floor rhythms. Fauna weave these elements into a kaleidoscopic musical journey rooted in trance aesthetics and collective intuition. Formed around guitarist Tommie Ek and bassist Ibrahim Shabo, the group has organically grown into a multicultural ensemble shaped by French, Finnish, Polish, Syrian, Swedish and Turkish influences. Vocals delivered in fragmented Arabic, Swedish and French function less as narrative carriers and more as textural layers that intensify the album’s immersive pull. Taiga Trans condenses the band’s long, semiimprovised live rituals into eight focused tracks. The result is a powerful listening experience - an intoxicating, transportive soundscape built for deep listening, physical movement and total surrender.
