Videos, news - Serena Maneesh video I Just Want To See Your Face, new album out this week

Serena Maneesh release their new album S-M2: Abyss In B Minor this Friday.

It is the band's second album, following the release of their self-titled LP in 2006 which received much praise upon itʼs release, establishing the Norwegian band as an act that could merge the lilting, ethereal melodies with crushingly loud, shimmering distortion. This new album is also their first release for 4AD, with them having recently been signed up to the label.

They started recording for the new album in 2008 when they went back underground to record in a cave on the outskirts of Oslo; “Studio environments often get on my nerves,” band leader Emile Nikolaisen explains, “and I love the underworld, you can silently head down there and do as you please, leave the world behind. So we found this huge cave with stone walls, it looked like a refugee hideout from World War II, with a huge, undiscovered treasure of sound.”
