John & Jehn (also known as John and Jehn) are a Lo-fi indie rock duo from France.

History

John & Jehn started their musical career when they moved from their hometowns to London at the back end of 2006. Since then they have impressed music fans and journalists [http://www.drownedinsound.com/event/view/36950] with their Lo-fi, rock'n'roll sound. It is impossible to talk about them without mentioning that they are a couple and very much in love. [http://www.tourdates.co.uk/LondonTourdates/655-Dear-John-je-taime-from-Jehn] Influenced by Serge Gainsbourg, The Velvet Underground, Jean Luc Godard, Gang of Four, John Fante, Joy Division, Jacques Brel and Johnny Cash [http://www.drownedinsound.com/bands/10079] , John and Jehn’s music is a collection of sonic experiments, carried by dark humour on razor-sharp pop melodies. They released their debut album through indie label FWM in April 2008 to critical acclaim.
