Fenella is a British experimental trio comprised of acclaimed songwriter Jane Weaver alongside long-term collaborators Razz Ullah and Peter Philipson. Formed as a vehicle for more abstract, cinematic explorations than Weaver's solo art-pop, the project is deeply rooted in the aesthetic of 1970s and 80s cult cinema and European animation.
Their debut album was specifically conceived as a re-imagined soundtrack to Marcell Jankovics' 1981 film Fehérlófia, establishing their identity as purveyors of 'mythic' electronic music. Sonically, they occupy a space between the motorik rhythms of Krautrock, the ambient textures of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and the psychedelic folk-horror sensibilities of the UK underground. Critically, they are praised for their mastery of analog hardware and their ability to evoke specific visual atmospheres without the need for traditional narrative or lyrical structures. Their work is a significant touchstone for the modern 'hauntology' movement, connecting the dots between retro-futurism and contemporary modular synthesis.
