Fenella is a new trio led by Jane Weaver and they have announced their debut album, Fehérlófia, and shared its first single, “Bright Curse,” via a video for the track. Fehérlófia is a re-imagined soundtrack to Marcell Jankovics’ 1981 animated fantasy epic of the same name and is part of Fire Records’ series of new soundtracks to old films. It’s due out November 1. Check out the “Bright Curse” video below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Fenella also features Weaver’s long-term bandmates Peter Philipson and Raz Ullah.

A press release describes the project this way: “Released in 1981, Fehérlófia is a remarkable animation based in ancient folklore with a narrative culled from mythical tales of the Scythans, Huns and Avars. Weaver’s richly emotional and psychedelic music offers a perfect contemporary dialogue with Jankovics’ astonishing visual aesthetic. A mixture of ambient textures, menacing drones and spine-tingling vocals combine to create a lavish soundscape saturated with hypnotic moods and cinematic atmosphere.”
