SENNENDestroy Us EP30th November 2009Hungry Audio (YUMS18)
Live Wednesday 9th DecemberLondon, Relentless @ The Garage
On route to next year’s album release, Norfolk’s Sennen release a limited edition EP and download, 'Destroy Us', on November 30th. The standalone EP features songs produced with Pat Collier over the course of the year in their run up to recording the new album. The 6 track release includes the hypnotic, captivating title track, plus intros and outros and new recordings, including a trademark Sennen version of New Order’s 'Bizarre Love Triangle', which has already claimed a small creed of supporters across the globe and picking up great support in Japan.
In 2008 Sennen released their highly praised album, ‘Where The Light Gets In', which displaced them from the comfort of their mini mantle - unassuming, local, alternative celebrities, earned from their debut mini album, 'Widows' in 2006 - onto a byway of national tours, festivals, sorties abroad, radio play & sessions, a tour support with dEUS, plus an abundance of glowing reviews.
Sennen relish their grounding as modest pursuers of their music, releasing records through local Norwich label, Hungry Audio, insistent on working at their own pace within the flush, inspirational expanse of the Norfolk Broads. As a result they produce uncorrupted, oddly schizophrenic, patient pop music in the slipstreams of Spaceman 3, Mercury Rev and Teenage Fanclub, capable of abruptly changing lanes from startlingly beautiful, duel harmony pop to powerful, hypnotic anthems of infused distortion.
Sennen are Laurence Holmes (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Richard Kelleway (vocals, guitar), Andrew Horner (bass) and James Brown (drums).
