2LP – Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Transparent Sea Blue Colour Vinyl.

Los Angeles trio Faetooth sophomore album Labyrinthine is a deeply felt exploration of emotional weight: grief, memory, uncertainty, and the quiet work of growing around your own wounds.

Following the band’s 2022 debut Remnants of the Vessel, which introduced the bands signature blend of heaviness and mysticism, Labyrinthine pushes further inward. True to its name, the album winds through a maze of feeling and form, where meaning is never handed over easily. Its rooted in self-discovery through disorientation, the idea that understanding comes not from escape, but from getting lost.

Ari May (guitars and vocals), Jenna Garcia (bass and vocals), and Rah Kanan (drums) manage to stay grounded in the immediate in parallel with fantasy themes of the band’s namesake. Labyrinthine holds space for this contradiction; tenderness and intensity, restraint and release. The band’s self-branded fairy doom sound fits between shoegaze, doom, and grunge. It isnt just texture; its a framework for navigating the unsaid.

Like the myth that inspired its title, Labyrinthine doesnt end in victory, but in confrontationnot with escape, but with the Minotaur. Only here, the Minotaur isnt a monster. Its something quiet and more familiar: unresolved feelings, old memories, and sadness that refuse to stay buried. The album winds like a maze, sometimes heavy, sometimes hushed, always intentional.

Faetooth isnt chasing catharsis. Theyre creating space to reflect, to feel, and maybe to get a little lost along the way.

Artist quote:
“White Noise” emerged from a diary entry, and is a relentless and intense reflection on inner turmoil. Were often drawn to the familiar, even when we dont realize were reaching out for it. It is an emotional upheaval, carrying harsh truths that weigh heavily on the heart. Guitarist, Ari May mentions, Performing the song always takes me back to a specific place, even if just for a moment.

Riffs and melodies brimming with loneliness and longing this bands incantations affect my mood the whole day after listening. The Sleeping Shaman
