Serena-Maneesh’s 2005 self-titled debut was a smash hit in the band’s home country of Norway and a major critical rave elsewhere, the central figure of Emil Nikolaisen professing himself openly obsessed with all kinds of protopunk, art-rock and psych noise and aiming to make a grand fusion of it all. In many ways it was a shoegaze landmark of the 2000s as well, thanks to the slippery blend of vocals and guitar noise favored throughout, clearly evident on singles like “Drain Cosmetics” and “Sapphire Eyes” as well as deeper cuts like the choppy kick of “Selina’s Melodie Fountain.”
