Hefner were a British indie rock and “urban folk” band. They were active from about 1996 until 2002; since then they have played together only once, for a tribute to the DJ John Peel, who was a strong supporter of theirs.
Hefner began as a live band in 1995 and, after several line up changes, became a solo project of Darren Hayman. In 1996 he recorded a tape for Sticky Records (named The Devotion Chamber) on which all instruments were played by Darren himself. His friend from art school, Antony Harding, assisted, providing backing vocals.
The band’s first release was in April of 1997 when the 7” single “A Better Friend” was released by Boogle Wonderland. The single featured Antony on drums and John Morrison (from Rhatigan) on bass. Shortly after the release, the record label Too Pure offered a record deal to Darren, who extended the offer to Antony and John.
After a few more singles, Hefner recorded their debut album Breaking God’s Heart. A lo fidelity album primarily recorded in one take, Hayman has declared that this album is the one he is least interested in listening to, due to its unrealized potential.
The Fidelity Wars would be their next record (with the recent addition of multi-instrumentalist Jack Hayter); a darker collection of songs. In the official website of the band Darren has explained that all of the songs gravitate around the concept of breaking up.
Hefner had, at this point, recorded a large number of singles and EPs. Boxing Hefner collected some of those tracks that had not appeared on the previous albums, often as new recordings. The compilation also included some unreleased material.

@Psychocandy1985: Thank you! I ended up buying Fidelity Wars off of Amazon to secure a hard copy. Man the price of imported CDs is high. I'll look to get the other albums off of eMusic I guess.

@ Adamskimatheson, I found 'Lee Jones' Hefner because of the confusion going on here, and I can say I liked his Residue album. But, I'm going to suggest we give the win to the band that is the most unique in their genre. I can pick out a Hefner (Indie Pop) song immediately...Hefner (Trip-Hop) Not so much.. sure its good, but it sounds a lot like everything else there.

Patnoy, I think emusic has a number of Hefner albums to download if you don't mind paying (and you shouldn't!).

Personally I would say, as would a few people on this wall, that the Lee Jones Hefner far surpasses the indie pop lot themartalarts (Not that I'm trying to pick a verbal fight but you shouldn't right off something just because it's not to your taste). Also they (he) did sell 85000 copies of the only album they put out which is hardly no one. Apparently I herd on Gillies Peterson recently (in the last few months) the Lee Jones Hefner are putting out another record soon, if anyone knows anything about this I would be very interested in finding out more. Especially if, as this site suggests, he was teaming up with Frazey Ford from the also excellent but very different Be Good Tanyas

Lee Jones a.k.a. Hefner is the man, forget the band! Some ten years ago, a couple of his tunes played by Gilles Peterson in Worldwide radio show, stamp something onto my brain. I still get goose gumps when I hear "An Evening with Hefner part 3" and "Dive Into You". Not to mention the wormhole I instantly fall into...
