Los Angeles trio Faetooth’s 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 their 2022 debut Remnants of the Vessel, which introduced the band’s 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. It’s 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 isn’t just texture; it’s a framework for navigating the unsaid.

Like the myth that inspired its title, »Labyrinthine« doesn’t end in victory, but in confrontation – not with escape, but with the Minotaur. Only here, the Minotaur isn’t a monster. It’s 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 isn’t chasing catharsis. They’re creating space to reflect, to feel, and maybe to get a little lost along the way.

»Labyrinthine« is released by The Flenser on September 5th, 2025. Order vinyl, CD, and tapes at THIS LOCATION.
