about

"Warped and memorable freeform maelstrom of nuke-charred, maximally-fried Texas noise-rock. Most definitely weird, totally ignoring any semblance of genre guardrails for an explosive riot of melody and heaviness, chaos and musical proficiency, and most importantly, a killer mixture of classic noise rock, hypnotic psych-rock obliteration and experimental creep. Serious earworm material!"
-Chrome Peeler Records

"Like a lot of noise-rock, both from the more overtly-masculine ’90s AmRep style and the freaky day-glo costume approach of the early ’00s, the bass-guitar and drums do all the heavy lifting here, allowing the other members to go off on whatever it is they’re doing (which, in Flender’s case, isn’t always clear). The bass/drums are consistently dialed into spastic, funky signatures, very much in the vein of Ruins, while the guitars utilize any number of effects pedals, adding blurry, suspiciously-wet stains to the rhythmic core. There’s no shortage of vocals either, which arrive in both high-pitched-scream and psychotic freakout variants. There’s not a lot of separation in the mix outside of the bass and drums, and without any overt consideration of hooks or intelligibility, the mess quickly overrides the cohesion that is surely lurking somewhere in there. Seems like they’re having a blast..."
-Yellow Green Red

An album that has weathered the amicable departure of three esteemed and missed absolute flembers, Beth Dodds, Jeffrey Bussey, and An Image, the introduction and flendeducation of three daring old fliends, Anders Zelinski (Carnival of Blood, The Plot), Ted Conway (Milk Leg, Searing Arrow), and Brian Nguyen (Carnival of Blood, Prion), over a period of almost two years. The leaving of three members might've spelled the end of the flend, but Flender dream to carry on. Jender is the knotty, looney homage to jenderflending and Flender's formerly jenderqueer-majority band membership, written partially before Beth and An moved on, and finished lyrically by the remaining jenderqueer member. It's an album of some jarring transitions, dreadful transformations, and yes, transjending, but mainly it honors the classic jenderflending traditions of cursing capitalism, demoralizing authority, and making silly sounds to sick noise grooves.
