Sennen – Where The Light Gets In
UK: 26th May – Hungry Audio
Debut full length from Norwich’s Sennen, who was labelled shoegazing, but not really. The first half of the album is pretty shoegazing, while the rest of is quite post rock. With the help of local indie label Hungry Audio, Sennen get to release recordings, they must be one of the most underrated bands.
Outstanding track: ‘Blackout’.
