Serena-Maneesh is a name you may already know. Their eponymous debut reached #29 in Pitchfork's top 50 albums of last year. They toured Europe with big fans, The Dandy Warhols, then received a rock category nomination for a Norwegian Grammy and a worldwide record deal with Play Louder Recordings (a division of Beggars Group). The group's sound is like something out of your dreams. Chaotic noise swelling with dreamlike, ethereal vocals and distorted samples. Driving guitars and pounding drum rhythms propel the sound from the womb as something wholly new and all their own, with strange melodies that are strikingly original, yet also somehow comforting and familiar. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
