WINTERREISE

WinterreiseJerskin FendrixLabel: UntitledDescription: “Jerskin Fendrix should have tea with Jarvis Cocker - Iggy Pop on BBC 6 Music “Winterreise has proved his brilliance but it has also only affirmed his status as an enigma - The Quietus. Originally billed as the “quasi-godfather of the south London Scene by The Quietus for his influence on bands like Black Country New Road Black MIDI and Famous Jerskin Fendrix has recently made the leap onto the global stage for his Oscar BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated film score for Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest film ‘Poor Things’. Since this stratospheric rise to red carpet fame the Shropshire-born musician’s debut ‘Winterreise’ has been put into a fresh perspective; at the time of its release it was lauded as something of an enigma a collection of errant pop songs that gave little away about the artist behind them. Now the record that was awarded album of the year in 2020 by Loud & Quiet can be seen as a prototype for Jerskin's strange blend of baroque pop electro punk ― an amalgam that takes the record beyond the referential. Having been out of print for a number of years untitled (recs) has re-pressed it with its original artwork on a limited run of 1000 copies.
