Henry Fool's music draws on 1970s British progressive rock but with other influences drawn from 1980s art-rock, 1990s post-rock and elsewhere.

The band has released one album to date - 2001's self-titled, Henry Fool.

The musicians in the band are generally associated with other projects, most notably Bowness' work as singer of No-Man and Bennett's as keyboard player with LaHost, but other associated projects are Darkroom, Samuel Smiles, Fire Thieves, Improvizone and the Tim Bowness/Peter Chilvers duo.

The band is named after the Hal Hartley film.
