The Serenes

The Serenes from Joure were founded in 1988 and immediately distinguished themselves with their melancholic guitar sound. Inspiration was drawn from the loneliness that the vast Frisian landscape evokes. Bands like The Chills and The Feelies were never far away. In 1990, The Serenes finally attracted all the attention with the recently reissued debut Barefoot and Pregnant . The reviews were without exception un-Dutchly ecstatic. The album ended high in the OOR Top 10 of 1990 and in 1991 the band received an Edison for Barefoot and Pregnant in the category Pop National.

These are all songs that will outlive us all by far. A rare legacy that even fills the listener with pride. We have managed to make this beautiful. Into the ocean of memories your heart will go.
