Singer-songwriter and sonic shapeshifter Jeremy Serwer returns with his most ambitious project yet: The Nines, a kaleidoscopic 18-track concept album fusing horror, sci-fi, and the surreal absurdities of modern life.
A Year in the Making.
Written and recorded over the past year, The Nines marks Serwer’s ninth full-length release—and, as he puts it, his “most self-indulgent” to date. With contributions from artists across the globe—from the Bay Area to Denver to the UK—this sprawling album channels a subconscious stream of sonic storytelling.
“Songs began to emerge—subconsciously, unexpectedly,” Serwer shares. “It’s like flipping through a cosmic short story collection. Horror, psychic thrillers, cosmic hope, existential dread. It’s all in there.”
This cinematic journey is powered by a diverse group of collaborators:
-
Leor Manelis (Denver) – Drums
-
Gary Alesbrook (UK) – Trumpet (noted for work with Noel Gallagher and Kasabian)
-
Jenn Dashney & Cortnee Langlie – Vocals
-
Gawain Mathews – Mixing, mastering, guitars, and keys
Despite being recorded remotely, the album pulses with emotional and sonic cohesion—proof that creativity transcends distance.
The Nines doesn’t sit neatly in a genre box. Expect a collision of:
-
Alt-rock grit
-
Cinematic textures
-
Narrative-driven songwriting
-
Dark whimsy and deep emotion
It’s immersive, unpredictable, and completely in tune with the surreal vibe of our times.
Escape Into “The Nines”
If you’re looking for a sonic refuge—a way to momentarily unplug from the chaos of modern life—this might be the escape you need.
“If you need an escape from the chaos—or a sonic refuge from the slow roll into authoritarianism—The Nines might be it.”
