Floggin' Buckley', Mendelsohn departed the UK in late 2007 and spent 10 months in the Midwest before buying a home in New York's Hudson Valley, where, between November 2008 and November 2009, he composed, performed, and recorded a second solo album, Sorry We're Open, released in February 2010. Now living back in London after two years in Los Angeles, Mendelsohn wrote a much-ignored blog, "Mendel Illness", in which he shared his thoughts on various elements of pop culture, shared often spurious personal anecdotes, including frank accounts of his lifelong struggles with low self-esteem and depression, and satirically purported to have embraced the conservatism of Sarah Palin. Between 2015 and 2020, he led the SW London-based band The Freudian Sluts, and composed and recorded several albums, including The Stonking Novels, The World Is Full of Beauty and of Horror (by Isambard Jones & His Orchestra), Meet the Internettes, and a country album credited to Johnny New Mendelssohn & The Clean Hankies. In 2021, he composed and recorded a new 10-song album every month from January through September, but no one paid much attention.
