All night I stare into the river skin pocked with rain and smell the burnt leather of grandfather’s belt. The sunken scars on my arms cradle the rain before it falls and trickles down my heron leg. Mother, I can’t sleep for thinking about Grandfather’s hide covering you. I limp across the field, past the bathtub and the cutting stump and drag the oven door from the thorns behind the house. I cross the threshold and find you dreaming by the hearth. His wood figurines lay at your side. I raise my arms into the air, drag you to the bathtub, drop your gown into the river. Shivering and thin, I crawl in behind you and feel your warmth against my skin.

In the last decade, Fen has laboured over three recordings.

The first, Surgical Transfusion of Molting Sensory Reflections (2000) identified Fen as “the only band of its kind on the coast [of British Columbia]” (The Nerve Magazine), perhaps due to its nauseating rhythms and cranial song forms.

A rare concept album followed, a story of incest and matricide set in an isolated estuary. This album, Heron Leg (2003), left listeners both wondering and disturbed, and has been called “one of those great CDs the listener can get into more and more deeply as buried details are unearthed” (Discorder Magazine).

The latest recording, Congenital Fixation (2006), is a Freudianesque phantasmagoric acid crash into the subconscious, drawing comparisons from Opeth to System of a Down.

At present, Fen is extracting itself into the acoustic medium, writing lullabies and ballads for a new album, out in 2009.

Reviews

“Fen evokes weird, slightly disturbing childhood memories…making me wonder about lyricist/vocalist Doug Harrison’s life...The creepiest lines are often the most delicate sounding.”

—Discorder Magazine

“the only band its kind on the coast. Fen’s raw aggression and peaceful acidic distortion makes this band stand above the rest in the prog-rock division.”

—The Nerve Magazine
