...according to our Phil on 09 October 2008.

Serena Maneesh are back with a new double CD called S-M Backwards. This looks to be 2 old EPs packaged together into a neat double pack with extra videos and whatnot. Fixxations and Zurick are the 2 albums in question and for anyone who's not familiar with the sounds of the Maneesh then I've got 3 words to say to you... My Bloody Valentine. Yep, Norways finest indie pop shoegazers are back and you can check out what they used to sound like before they got all popular wirth their last album with this handy compendium 'o joy. There are some more raucous noisy rocky moments where they sound a bit Stooges at times but the main influence here is MBV. On The Smalltown Supersound label.....

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Norway`s Serena-Maneesh to release double album of early material on Smalltown Supersound.

Most of the material on this double album was released as two EPs prior to the self titled debut album; ¨Zuruck¨ and ¨Fixxations¨, both on Honeymilk, covering the time 1999-2003. Due to the fact that the label didn't have distribution outside of Norway the material never got released outside of Norway. This is another reason why the band and the label want to make this release spectacular and give as much as possible to the fans while waiting on the band's new studio album. But in addition to the original EP material this double album also contains new re-wrappings/mixes, videos and much more, 16 over 80 minutes of Serena-Maneesh.
