Crystal ball redux

video

Going out on a limb on this one a bit, but hey its Tuesday.

Serena Maneesh, a Norwegian band whose productivity compares to Chad's, are set to release the follow up to their debut album in 2009.

Their debut was a cracker and as all great albums slowly burned it way in people stereos, ipods and what nots.

They managed to get that delicate balance between making a racket and constructing a piece of beauty. Thats the difference between My Bloody Valentine (Racket) and Rollerskate Skinny (Beauty).

Its all about the layering (and skinny jeans).

This album will be huge in 2009.

Sounds good. I always felt like a bit of a philistine for not appreciating My Bloody Valentine, I just can't really get past the racket.

JG - lol, hilarious and so true the pressure to like MBV in the early 90s was horrendous. A mate of mine dragged me relutanctly to the Powerhaus in Islington to see them (1990) he thought I would be impressed and fall in love.

Instead it confirmed what I suspected before - they are fuckin noisy chancers.

Noisy is right, Killian. I went to see them at Electric Picnic this year. I'll never get that half hour back! :)
