One of the jewels in the EMI crown of up-and-coming Everett bands is Fauna Shade, a snarling, tonally dualistic mass of heavily reverbed scratch-crooning, easily at home in a dank (from both weed and weather) basement, as in a sun-dappled sylvan grove. It’s the sonic equivalent of getting hammered alone outside while you wander around reflecting on your summer bummers. KIM SELLING
