In the past seven years Holland's most renowned guitarband has traveled all over the world-from Arnhem to Bearsville, San Francisco to Tokyo-and made four albums, of which their debut, Palomine, is regarded a modern rock classic.

Carol van Dyk, Peter Visser, Herman Bunskoeke and new drummer Reinier Veldman teamed up with English producer John Parish (P.J. Harvey, Giant Sand and 16 Horsepower) to complete the band’s first studio album since 1997’s Dust Bunnies. For the recording of Private Suit, Bettie Serveert returned to Weesp, the Dutch town where Palomine was created.

Though the new album contains all of the familiar Bettie-ingredients-Carol's soulful voice, Peter's ever-intriguing guitar playing-the record also reveals some unexpected sides. Herman and Peter's backing vocals add a new found pop sensibility and Reinier contributes a tight and sober drumming style that complements Herman's fine bass playing in every respect. Private Suit also includes special appearances by the Lenski brothers from the innovative Belgian string quartet D.A.A.U., producer John Parish, members of Metal Molly and Bart Vincent from Thou.

Bettie Serveert’s new CD Private Suit is now available via Parasol Mail Order and will be released throughout the U.S. September 5th on Parasol’s in-house imprint, Hidden Agenda. The band will tour the US in October, including dates with Counting Crows/Live, and an appearance at CMJ’s annual music marathon.
