Best known for his acclaimed film scores — including Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness — Jerskin Fendrix turns his compositional lens inward on Once Upon A Time... In Shropshire. His second full-length album is a deeply personal exploration of a rural West Midlands childhood, weaving together memory, grief, and humor across a sound that blends electronic, rock, and pop influences into something entirely his own. The result is what one might call an absurdist pastoral — bucolic reminiscences twisted by loss and the unreliable nature of memory.
Released on Untitled (Recs) in October 2025, Once Upon A Time... In Shropshire is as meticulous in its presentation as it is in its songwriting, arriving in a gatefold sleeve alongside a 30-page lyric booklet and spot-printed UV paint splatter inner sleeves. The album moves fluidly between tenderness and dark humor, from choirboy-delicate meditations on mortality to bleary, White Claw-fueled confrontations with grief — making it a compelling listen that rewards close attention, especially with lyrics in hand.
