Fenella
Fenella
1st November 2019 - Album - FIRE576
Side project from Jane Weaver, a musical polymath and one of the most respected electronic composers of recent times. A reimagined soundtrack to Marcell Jankovics’ cult animation Fehérlófia.
- LTD edition clear vinyl
- Artwork by Andy Votel
£20.00 – £50.00
‘Fenella’ is the latest project from Jane Weaver – musical polymath and one of the most respected electronic composers of recent times. Having already released three critically-acclaimed LP’s within the last five years Weaver’s creativity continues to expand ever further into the (modern) kosmos with this reimagined soundtrack to Marcell Jankovics’ cult animation Fehérlófia.
Released in 1981, Fehérlófia is a remarkable animation based in ancient folklore with a narrative culled from mythical tales of the Scythans, Huns and Avars. Weaver’s richly emotional and psychedelic music offers a perfect contemporary dialogue with Jankovics’ astonishing visual aesthetic. A mixture of ambient textures, menacing drones and spine-tingling vocals combine to create a lavish soundscape saturated with hypnotic moods and cinematic atmosphere.
Weaver’s long-term bandmates Peter Philipson and Raz Ullah decamped to a remote cottage on the Applecross Peninsula in north-west Scotland to commence recording on the initial album sessions, making masterful use of synthesizers and heavily processed guitars to create evocative new sound-worlds for Jancovics’ imagery. Further overdubs and vocal manipulations were committed to tape at Eve Studios near Manchester, a haven for vintage analogue recording equipment and the same environment from which ‘The Silver Globe’, ‘Modern Kosmology’ and ‘Loops In The Secret Society’ albums sprung forth.
A continuation of the Fire Records re-imagined score series, Fenella’s self-titled release is out 1st November via dinked on limited edition (500 only, individually foil numbered) ‘ink spot’ vinyl and crystal-clear LP.
