News: Site Relaunch - We are back

serein.co.uk // we're back

It makes me very happy indeed to be able to say that we are finally back online. After an extended period of hibernation we're back with a new strategy, new site design, new logo and new music just around the corner. There are several announcements that we've been holding back until the site was ready, read on to find out more.

First up, we've decided the time is right to explore some carefully considered commercial avenues. That means all our releases from here on in are going to be available in physical form, produced to the highest standard and available in good quantities. You will be able to purchase physical and digital goods directly through this site, as well as in select independent stores worldwide.

We will no longer offer all our music for free download, but for those willing to invest some time in the project, free downloads and other assorted good-stuff will become available over time. We have also started a new side-project called "Forecasts", this will be an ongoing mix-tape series put together by various friends and contributors. The first of these, "Reintroduction" is online now and contains previously unreleased material from Nest, 1000 Hours of Staring, Stephane Leonard and Michael Trommer. We also present exclusive tracks from Segue and Pine who we're very happy to have on-board.

The second piece of news is that our 'first' release is to be a reissue of Nest's self-titled 2007 EP. This will contain the original six pieces as well as several new, unreleased tracks, doubling the length of the original release. The tracks will be professionally (re)mastered and beautifully packaged along with new artwork. We have not set a release date for the album yet, but hope to take pre-orders at the beginning of November.

That's all for now, we realise the site is a little sparse at the moment, but we will be padding it out with new pages and features in the coming weeks. Your comments and feedback are most welcome, please register to get started!

So glad to see Serein back. Definitely willing to pay for the wonderful music that's coming up for release and the free mixtape/podcast series Forecasts is wonderful. Thank you!

Thanks guys, very encouraging words!

In response to 020200: thanks very much for your comments on the site, all feedback is appreciated. I understand you may feel the site is a little understated, but rest assured it will really start to come to life as more content is added. There are still a lot of pages to come, so do keep an eye out. I have taken your comments on board!

It's great to have you back - and your new site looks fantastic: simple, clean and easy to navigate. I am listening to the new forecast, and can't wait till the new NEST track (among others). I am glad you did not change the name of the project. I have listened to the EP (in it's last physical form) many, many times. Along with Infraction, Type, and 12k, folks like you make music hunting and listening satisfying.
