Jerskin Fendrix announces second album, Once Upon A Time. . . In Shropshire

In-between time spent nurturing his burgeoning career as a composer (working on Lanthimos’ Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness & forthcoming Bugonia), Jerskin Fendrix began work on Once Upon A Time. . . In Shropshire. "I wrote this album during a period of sudden and unrelated deaths. A friend, family members, animals, and eventually my father. My album about Shropshire is a twofold testament. Looking back on the world where I grew up, its beauty and innocence and wonder - then watching it become corrupted, death by death, until the entire dream was shattered.”

The single release and album announcement comes with the news of his first live show in over three years at St Chad’s Church in Shrewsbury, Shropshire on 11 October.

Once Upon A Time. . . In Shropshire is a love letter to something that once existed - a shining, rose-tinted childhood and the lives that made it. It posits that grief is complex and memory is intoxicating - and that Shropshire can contain the entire world. The album includes previously released singles "Sk1" and "Jerskin Fendrix Freestyle", and follows the 2020 debut, Winterreise.
