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 composed 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. The grief-informed solo LP Once Upon a Time…in Shropshire followed in 2025, as did the film Bugonia, which featured Fendrix's second Academy Award-nominated score.
