Following a couple of shows in Nueva York recently — their first stateside appearance since way back in 2006 — Norwegian post-shoegazers Serena-Maneesh will be embarking on the ever-fashionable post-SXSW North American tour. This run through the US is, as you may have already guessed, in promotion of their upcoming second full-length, out March 23 through 4AD. The band has chosen to call their second baby S-M 2: Abyss in B Minor, and hopefully it will again leave melted eardrums and crying babies in its wake. If you want to get a taste of what’s ahead, you can scope out an MP3 for the track “I Just Want to See Your Face” here.
And if the whole audio medium doesn’t do much for you, check ‘em out at the Chocolate Grinder performing another new song, “Reprobate,” on Norwegian TV.
