Artist: Fenster
Album: Bones
Release date: 02.03.2012
Catalogue: MORR112 

Futuristic nostalgia with minimal percussion and echoey guitar riffs with a lyrical bent towards the macabre dada world of dreams.
FENSTER, a duo of New Yorker-turned-Berliner JJ Weihl and Berlin-born Jonathan Jarzyna, that plays de-constructed pop music, layering subtle distortions, melodic chords and city soundscapes under dream narratives. Their sound and recording style has analog warmth, exploring the relationship between machine errors in their circuit bended beats and the tactile use of objects and instrumentation. Their influences range from the Velvet Underground to, the sounds of broken records, the hum of a washing machine, or the faint melodies of oldies tunes through their kitchen radio, at times, reminding you of an American version of The XX.

“The trio have burned a lot of the haze off their sound (and some of the
ear-bleeding volume), in favor of more melody and danceability, albeit in a
gothy '80s kind of way.” - Brooklyn Vegan

“Weekend kiss the curb with their new single, “Mirror”. It’s a promising
jig for Jinx.” - Consequence of Sound

“Note those bells and whistles, folks...not to say the deeper into Jinx we
travel the noise won't greet us with a screeching wail we've come to
expect, keeping those plugs at arm's length, but Weekend is not hiding in
the feedback.” - Impose Magazine

"All the subtlety of a high-pressure firehose...a dour, post-punk
atmosphere that goes for immersion rather than force." - Pitchfork

“Ominous razor-sharp textures enrapture, "Mirror" foretells the future of
Weekend, where gloom and pandemonium is a joyous return.” - Prefix

“It's steamy post-punk with a circular bass attack leading the way over
galloping drums...[Weekend’s] trademark guitar-pile assault.” - Rcrd Lbl

“Craftsmanlike post-punk” - Stereogum

Weekend - Mirror

Lone Wolf began life in 2009 in various dusty rooms and tape studios around Sweden where Paul Marshall (aka Lone Wolf) pulled his songs and ideas slowly together with the assistance of Kristofer Jonson from Jeniferever. After a month of various field recordings, sneaking into concert halls late at night to use the piano, setting up their gear in small village churches, and other places they could find, the basic album tracks were done.  The resulting album, The Devil And I, Lone Wolf’s debut, was released on Bella Union in mid-2010 to welcome arms.  A new singer-songwriter to behold was born that day.

A year followed of Paul sharpening his teeth on the road, looking for a leaner, more focussed sound; one he could truly call his own.  Sharing stages across the UK, USA and Europe alongside friends and fellow sonic sculptors Wild Beasts, Radiohead’s Phil Selway, The Invisible and more and playing both solo and with a full band, the seeds of Lone Wolf’s second chapter were sewn.

Throughout 2011 Paul meticulously crafted a new creative template he could draw from, pooling all his experience thus far into a new melting pot; with the aim of creating music free of immediate categorisation.  He called upon the talents once again of James Kenosha (who mixed The Devil And I) and producer Jon Fougler to make an experimental yet definitive statement of an artist willing to push his own boundaries and also an audience’s pre-conceptions.  Putting narrative and his powerful vocals front and centre, the rest of the sonic canvas was free to paint as was his will.

The first fruits of this labour comes in the form of the song The Swan of Meander, which - using powerful percussion, Paul’s adept skills on 6-string (electric) guitar and the soaring backing vocals of Blue Roses - provides a very neat bridge between The Devil And I and Lone Wolf’s upcoming album, The Lovers, which will be released in the Autumn.

Not only that, Lone Wolf will also feature - twice - upon the upcoming Talk Talk tribute charity compilation, The Spirit Of Talk Talk, with Recoil (Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode), Joan as Police Woman, King Creosote, Richard Reed Parry (of Arcade Fire) and many more, which will be released in the Summer.

The Lovers: Recorded by James Kenosha.  Produced by Jon Foulger, James Kenosha and Paul Marshall.
