Listen to this track

It's been a solid five years since their self-titled album, but Norwegian shoegazers Serena-Maneesh are most certainly back. Last week marked their first stateside appearances since 2006, with two sold-out concerts in New York. More North American dates (and a SXSW appearance) have been revealed and you can check those out below. To celebrate the tour, here's another track from their forthcoming sophomore effort, S-M 2: Abyss in B Minor. The song is called "I Just Want to See Your Face."

Like the other explosive new songs, this noisy cut employs the key B minor quite a bit. It also leans a little more towards the industrial side of rock, before lifting off on the crunchy outro.

The SM tour will coincide with Abyss In B Minor's U.S. release on March 23rd, via 4AD. All shows will be supported by Brooklyn trio The Depreciation Guild.
