Our History
Serein is a music imprint run by Huw Roberts who lives in Wales. We are interested in music that blurs the lines between styles and defies easy categorisation. Most people would call us an ambient label though, and that’s fine with us.
2005 - 2009: The netlabel years - all our output was made available for free download. We made very short run CDRs for some later releases.
2009 - 2020: The commercial years - so called because this was when things became a bit more serious. We made a lot of CDs and vinyl during this time, had relationships with many retailers and distributors and although it wasn’t a full time occupation for Huw, it wasn’t far off.
2020 - 2024: The goodbye plastic years - a bit tongue in cheek and the reasons are numerous, but 2020 was when we really started to slow the production of physical media. Serein is now (almost) exclusively a digital label. Never say never, but the reasons not to produce CDs and vinyl in 2024 are many.
Future: Full circle?
We sell our music through Bandcamp and all the other big digital outlets you can think of. Bandcamp is our preferred place for you to get our music by some distance. You will also find our music on all the big streaming platforms, and some of the smaller ones too. You can still download our netlabel releases through this site (go to Music then the List / Archive tab and scroll to the bottom) and they are available to stream on Spotfiy.
The name Serein was taken from a meteorological dictionary, it is used to describe ‘fine rain falling from a clear sky after sunset’. We pronounce it seh-rain, you can say it however you want.
