***REISSUED ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! Happy 20th birthday to Family Album, the third recording of Faun Fables and the first one released on Drag City. These songs belong to sons and daughters, entwined and orphaned, domesticated and feral; to all the family vines unraveling from a ball of yarn. In this family album, runaways graze the wild together, a mother finds her courage playing the piano, dogs become thieves and wolves, and a son is taken too soon. Fourteen-year-old nymphs sit dangerously at the crossroads, a younger brother tries to find his place, packs of girls defeat fear with a march, and the nightly adventures of the household mouse are spied upon. Edition of 500 copies.

***REISSUED ON VINYL FOR THE FIRST TIME!!! Mother Twilight is the second Faun Fables album. It has since been noted by Scottish author R.J. Stewart as a work containing true artifacts of the oral underworld tradition. Dawn and Nils made a hand-assembled first pressing and peddled it to nearly every bar and rural hall across North America from 2001–2003. Drag City reissued the CD in 2004. Edition of 500 copies.

Originally released in 2001, Early Song is the first chapter in McCarthy's songbook documenting material she performed and traveled with as a soloist, after leaving New York City for Oakland in 1997, and the beginning of her work with stark compositions that give the vocals full sway. Includes a selection of original and traditional material, along with two bonus tracks not featured on the original (and very limited) release.
