Current kings of blissed
out Beach Boys on smack soundscapes and the toast of nugaze shoegaze, Sennen,
are set to kick of MuHead’s own Ignition! nights launching in September.
Since the release
of their second album Where the Light Gets In, a delicate and mesmeric mix of
dreamlike vocals and cutting guitars, Sennen
have gained an ever growing army of fans and are off on their first headline
jaunt throughout September with new single Just Wanted To Know out at the end of the month.
Despite an ever increasing
number of radio plays and celeb support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Sennen remain well grounded pursuers of their music, releasing records through
local Norwich label Hungry Audio and working at their own pace within the flush
expanse of the Norfolk Broads. As a result they produce beautifully uncorrupted
and patient pop music.
Where The Light
Gets In drifts like a waking dream, crashing through sharp and tense guitar
explosions before slipping back into warm and heavy blanket of sound. Their
debut mini album ‘Widows’, released in 2006, sold over 4,000 copies and with
the release of ‘Where the Light Gets In’ and its abundance of glowing reviews
they have surpassed every expectation.
Sennen release the
excellent ‘Just Wanted to Know’ at the end of September. Its hypnotic drone of
guitars and vocal harmonies is assuredly Sennen, outstandingly modest and
invigorating. The full-length version develops into the infused cacophony that
has made their live shows so empowering.
