New La Sera!

Yeah, so I have an Achilles heel, and her name is Katy Goodman. La Sera's new single, 'Break My Heart', is out, and 2nd LP See The Light isn't far off either (March 24 on Hardly Art, to be exact). It's signature dreamy garage pop, and I really enjoy it. I'm not even sure if this is bias or not, though...

La Sera - Break My Heart

Yes, I'll Be Your Third Eye (Times Forever)

Out of all Vivian Girls offshoots and side-projects (and there are quite a few), Katy Goodman's La Sera is by far the best. And this track - holy shit. Hooked up to the eyeballs! I want to go to there. Seriously, it's so sweet, yet not sickly so, and Goodman's vocals are pitch perfect. I'm really looking forward to the new album, Sees The Light. Really, this track is soundtracking my way through this week - well, that and Terry Malts, I'm gonna OD on fuzzy sugar. But when it sounds so good, I'm gone.

La Sera - Please Be My Third Eye

And in case the aural pleasures aren't enough, try the visuals...

I'm so in love... Sees The Light comes out on Hardly Art in March.

Friday Cover Up - Out Getting Ribs With The One You Love

THANK GOD ITS FRIDAY. Its been a busy week, I can tell you. But two tracks that will surely get us over the line and happily high-fiving our way into the oblivion of the weekend are at hand!

First we have La Sera, Katy Goodman of the Vivian Girls' side project. Ive slowly been warming to this act, moreso than even the "day" band, and this Devil Hearts Grows Gold 7" continues that love. Not half because the B-side is an eggsellent cover of The Shirelles' 1961 hit 'Dedicated To The One I Love." Im also more than a little in love with the fiery-headed Katy, so it's win-win for me. Hear both tracks from the 7" below...

Ah, School Knights, you are doing all the right things by me at the moment! That 'Fuck The Beach' track was killer, now this irreverent throwaway cover of Zoo Kid's "Out Getting Ribs". Now Im not familiar with the original - or that band - but I love me some School Knights, don't you?

And you know what? The original is pretty tasty in itself, much more gloomy Midlands indie crooner, but pretty cool, check it out below...
