New Quiet LP

Description

Sennen release ‘New Quiet’, their first album in over 10 years, on October 30. It’s a wonderfully warm and fuzzy record – for fans of Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub and Sonic Youth – self-recorded by the band but with the end results mixed by James Chapman, aka Maps. They’re enjoying being a band again, and the wistful atmosphere was inspired by putting together the anniversary reissue of their classic debut ‘Widows’ in 2021. “We were able to recognise the unfiltered joy we got from being in a band and making music together when we were in our early 20s,” says singer/guitarist Rich Kelleway, “and making this new album has brought that into focus again.” “Sennen is a bit of a lifeboat for us,” adds fellow singer/guitarist Larry Holmes. “The happy-sad, fear and hope stuff just comes from us getting older and having to experience a fair old slice of life here and there.” Essentially, ‘New Quiet’ is a record about the importance of being in a band, of making a record, of music itself. This band really could be your life.
