Jerskin Fendrix

Although he came up as part of the experimental pop scene that gave rise to acts like Black Midi and Jockstrap, and has released solo material that embraces a similarly experimental aesthetic, Jerskin Fendrix is best known for his unconventional instrumental scores. He scored for the stage, wrote and produced tracks for others, and released the 2020 solo album Winterreise before receiving an Oscar nomination for his score for 2023's Poor Things, his feature-film debut. Born Joscelin Dent-Pooley in 1995, Fendrix grew up in the West Midlands of England, where he studied classical piano and violin. By 2018, he was involved in the scene of artists connected to Brixton venue The Windmill, and he collaborated with Black Midi on the 2018 track "Ice Cream." Around that time, he also provided an appropriately abrasive score for a performance of Alfred Jarry's boundary-busting play Ubu Roi at the Victoria and Albert Museum. In April 2020, Fendrix released his debut solo album, Winterreise, a collection of genre-defiant original songs that zipped between blasts of hyperpop and more organic chamber music instrumentation. Over the next couple years, he surfaced as co-songwriter of tracks by Gia Ford and Spector, and he co-produced the GFOTY album Femmedorm (2021). Begun in 2021 and based on the script and design sketches, his soundtrack for the Yorgos Lanthimos film Poor Things -- Fendrix's feature-film debut -- arrived in U.S. movie theaters and on Milan Records on December 8, 2023. His sparse, warped score was in keeping with the film's themes of the bizarre and the childish, and in 2024, it was recognized with an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score.
