{"product_id":"210000031129","title":"Lily, Fenne - On Hold","description":"Fenne was born in London and moved to Dorset as a toddler, where she\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003egrew up in the picturesque English countryside. She was a \"free range kid,\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eas she calls it, after her parents took her out of school for a period at the age\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eof seven. Over the following year, they taught her while the family travelled\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEurope in a live-in bus. Even after she returned to traditional school at 9,\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eher home education never ended, extending to music. Her mother gifted\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFenne with her old record collection, through which she discovered her love\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003efor T-Rex and the Velvet Underground and Nico. Soon after she fell for the\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003estrange genius of PJ Harvey and came to worship Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell,\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eand the richly crafted worlds of Feist, which inspired Fenne to pick up a guitar.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"On Hold,\" a tender collection of expressive, open-hearted songs, was Fenne's\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003efirst foray into songwriting, written during her teenage years. Writing her own\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003esongs was initially a \"therapy exercise\" for Fenne, who is normally reserved\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ewhen it comes to talking about her feelings. The album, self-released in 2018,\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eorganically found a large audience online, which grew after she opened for\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLucy Dacus and Andy Shauf's North American tours last spring. Surrounding\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eit's release, The Line of Best Fit deemed Fenne \"a new and extraordinary voice\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ecapable of wringing profound and resonant moments out of loss.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"To have this record physically re-released is a big deal for me and the person\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI was when I made it. A lot's changed since then but these songs and what\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ethey've given me will remain dependable reminders of beginnings and\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eendings that shaped me as a teenager. For an album whose title is half 'hold',\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eit makes sense that now whoever wants to can finally do that again.\"","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58365802807621,"sku":"DEDO275.1","price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/8881\/6197\/files\/fenne-lily-music-vinyl-records-lily-fenne-on-hold-656605157511-dedo275-1-39955064488188.jpg?v=1782309451","url":"https:\/\/midnightukvinyl.com\/products\/210000031129","provider":"MIDNIGHT GROOVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
