"The rattling, rambling album makes no distinctions between song and sound, between old and new, rural and urban, or heart and head". --Stephen M. Deusner
from Pitchfork "Honorable Mentions" 2009
"Megafaun's roots are familiar; the bloom is uniquely theirs"
from Rolling Stone 09 Aug 2009
"Megafaun fits squarely in the bearded Caucasian folkie camp, but the ethereal Gather, Form & Fly is far too extraterrestrial-sounding to be bound to this planet, much less this country. Evoking a warmly inviting yet mysteriously alien countryside terrain reminiscent of those gorgeously golden wheat fields from Terrence Malick’s Days Of Heaven,
Gather, Form & Fly has a psychedelic mind & a Pentecostal heart, applying raggedly strummed banjos and woozy acoustic guitars to harmonies that swell heavenward like ghostly dust clouds."
from The Onion 4 Aug 2009
"Averse to predictability and sentimentality, the band is restless with established forms, yet instead of subverting blues and folk traditions, they upend them. Their ends are deconstructive, not destructive."
from Pitchfork Media 24 Jul 2009
"This North Carolina trio writes loping, harmony-laden folk-rock, with just the right level of weirdo mysticism."
