NF Rating:From the closet in her apartment to the Nerdy Frames blog it is our pleasure to introduce Serena Andrews from New York making what I reckon is the best contemporary indie pop that would put some major label signed artists to questionable shame.

While Andrews owes something to Kate Bush, Portishead and the

Serena Andrews is a tough one to crack. One minute she's singing a Broadway-ish, super radio-friendly single, the next she's getting all bizarro and experimental.
