Seeräuber Jenny was founded by young Fran Barker in a leaky conservatory with a 4-track, a miscellany of instruments and a bag load of fuzzy influences like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.
She began to trade songs with Neil Claxton, 250 miles away in Manchester, in an odd but fruitful creative email strategy. "Me or Neil will write something then send it to each other then we add something of our own and send it back," says Barker. "We just keep on like that until we’re both happy."
Push It Away is Seerauber Jenny's first ever release. Tracks for a 2011 full-length album are being wrapped now.
The video for their debut single, is an animated film which band member Neil said was "guided by lots of pictures Fran appropriated from her vast library of the weird and wonderful and slightly melancholy."
