Color: Shropspire Mud Brown. Printed Disco Sleeves with Spot UV, 24-Page Booklet. UPC: 5065020862040 London-based artist and composer Jerskin Fendrix releases Once Upon A Time. . . In Shropshire , his highly anticipated sophomore album, via untitled (recs). It follows his critically acclaimed debut album Winterreise - Loud & Quiet's 2020 Album of The Year, as well as his Ivor Novello-winning, Oscar and Golden Globe nominated soundtrack to Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things (2023). In-between time spent nurturing his burgeoning career as a composer, Jerskin began work on OUATIS. The record threads together memories of a vibrant, rural childhood, attempting to capture a time and place that's been altered by the ebb of time and the failings of memory. "It's not a sad thing - maybe a bit nostalgic. It's trying to capture that feeling and how important that was to me and my friends and my family - and then how, bit by bit, it gets cracked and corrupted" he says. Raised in the rural county of Shropshire, England, where he learnt violin and piano, Jerskin moved to London and spent 2 years nurturing a visceral live personality at the iconic Brixton Windmill, playing alongside Black Midi and Black Country, New Road.
