September 18 street date. Isolation is nothing new for Fenne Lily - in fact, she's written an album of songs all about it. "BREACH", her Dead Oceans debut written during a period of self-enforced isolation pre-COVID, is an expansive, diaristic, frequently sardonic record that deals with the mess and the catharsis of entering your 20s and finding peace while being alone. Fenne was born in London and moved to Dorset as a toddler, where she grew up in the picturesque English countryside. Her mother gifted Fenne with her old record collection, through which she discovered her love for T. Rex and The Velvet Underground and Nico. Soon after she fell for the strange genius of PJ Harvey and came to worship Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and the richly crafted worlds of Feist, which inspired Fenne to pick up a guitar. Her debut album, self-released in 2018, organically found a large audience online, which grew after she opened for Lucy Dacus and Andy Shauf's North American tours last spring. Where "On Hold" grappled with love and relationships, "BREACH" digs deeper into Fenne herself.

February 11 street date. "On Hold" is Fenne Lily's debut album, highly sought after and out of print since 2018. Fenne was born in London and moved to Dorset as a toddler, where she grew up in the picturesque English countryside. Her mother gifted Fenne with her old record collection, through which she discovered her love for T. Rex and the Velvet Underground and Nico. Soon after she fell for the strange genius of PJ Harvey and came to worship Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and the richly crafted worlds of Feist, which inspired Fenne to pick up a guitar. "On Hold," a tender collection of expressive, open-hearted songs, was Fenne's first foray into songwriting, written during her teenage years. Writing her own songs was initially a "therapy exercise" for Fenne, who is normally reserved when it comes to talking about her feelings. The album, self-released in 2018, organically found a large audience online, which grew after she opened for Lucy Dacus and Andy Shauf's North American tours last spring.

April 14 street date. A gorgeous and gripping portrait of Fenne Lily's last two years, "Big Picture" was pieced together in an effort to self-soothe. Tracked live in co-producer Brad Cook's North Carolina studio, the album delineates the phases of love and becomes a map of comfort vs claustrophobia. Though its creation took place amid personal and global turmoil, the ruminative yet candid "Big Picture" is Fenne's most cohesive, resolute work to date, both lyrically and sonically. With confidence and quiet strength, each track provides an insight into Fenne's ever-changing view of love and, ultimately, its redefinition - love as a process, not something to be lost and found. While the album was written alone in Fenne's Bristol flat - a fact intentionally reflected in its compact sonic quality - "Big Picture" was transformed from a solitary venture into a unifying collaboration during the recording process when she was joined by her touring band, Melina Dutere of Jay Som (mixing), Christian Lee Hutson (guitar and co-production), and Katy Kirby (vocals).
