John & Jehn (also known as John and Jehn) are a Lo-fi indie rock duo from France in which John and Jehn are respectively Nicolas Congé and Camille Berthomier.
History
In 2005, Jehn (Camille Berthomier) played the leading role in À travers la forêt.
John & Jehn started their musical career when they moved from their hometowns to London at the back end of 2006, and the first song they ever wrote together was "20 L 07". Since then they have impressed music fans and journalists with their Lo-fi, rock'n'roll sound. The two are a couple. Influenced by Serge Gainsbourg, The Velvet Underground, Jean Luc Godard, Gang of Four, John Fante, Joy Division, Jacques Brel and Johnny Cash, John and Jehn's music is a collection of sonic experiments, carried by dark humour on pop melodies. They released their debut album, nearly all of which was recorded in their bedroom, through indie label FMM (Faculty Music Media) in April 2008 to critical acclaim.
One year later, in the Summer of 2009 after touring Europe, the pair returned to Angoulême to build their own studio, to record the bulk of the new album Time for the Devil and to rehearse for their first live shows as a quartet (supporting Franz Ferdinand in front of 8,000 people in Paris was their first). Their second studio album Time for the Devil was released on March 28, 2010. To support their second album on stage, John & Jehn are joined by Raphael Mura (from Underground Railroad) on drums and Maud-Elisa Mandeau (from Le Prince Miiaou) on guitar. For their UK tour, Gemma Thomson (from Hindley) is on guitar.
In 2010, John & Jehn settle back in London. They tour in Europe, appear on the front cover of Artrocker magazine and play their single "And We Run" and "Down our Streets" for Tom Robinson and Jonathan Ross at the BBC.
In 2011 they create their own label called Pop Noire which aims to release their new records and other artists produced by John in the John & Jehn studio in London. The first release is the artist LESCOP with the track "La Foret" (produced by John and video by Jehn) released in October 2011.
In 2009, Berthomier also appeared as an actress in Sodium Babies.
