JOHNNY FLYNN(Folk)British folk artist Johnny Flynn really caught my ear with this one, and it's yet another notable example of Brits doing folk extremely well (the other being Mumford and Sons...). With a light feel, some nice guitar work, and a catchy horn riff or two this song will grab you too. "Kentucky Pill" comes at ya off of his latest album, Been Listening, which was out in June of last

1. PJ Harvey returns White Chalk didn't hit all the spots, A Man A Woman Walked By wasn't her alone - I'm hoping this year sees Polly Jean Harvey return to the fray in fine solo form. Her new record, Let England Shake , lands on February 14 and already the hype is starting to build. Themes of violence and disillusionment are not exactly new ground for PJ, but this time it seems to be a wider commentary on the state of a nation than the state of [...]

La Sera is the side-project of Vivian Girls member Katy Goodman. She's releasing her s/t debut album on February 15 via Hardly Art. Here's a really nice track from the album called, "Devils Hearts Grow Gold", that she's giving away for free. If the whole album consists of songs of this caliber, it will be must have for this summer. Found via GVB [mp3]: La Sera - Devils Hearts Grow Gold While we're at it, here's "Never Come Around", a song previously given away from [...]
Lets be quite honest: the torrent of girl garage has worn me out a bit. Hell, the torrent of garage has worn me out a bit, left spinning in a strangely non-musical void as I fight to find foothold between the barrage of punchy synth and lo-fi guitar that seems to dominate music right now. [...]

![[New] La Sera – Devils Hearts Grow Gold](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3108740_lg.jpg)
Katy Goodman , whom you may recognize as the bassist for the band Vivian Girls , has a side project by the name of La Sera . La Sera is going to be releasing her debut self entitled album "La Sera" on February 15th; the artist will be releasing a 73 for the single "Devil Hearts Grow Gold" that comes out January 18th. "Devils Hearts Grow Old" is an easy going track where you can really appreciate the simple instrumentation and get lost in the soothing vocals. I'm really digging this track; make sure to [...]

2011 is shaping up to be a big year for Vivian Girls . Not only do they have an album of their own coming out, but frontwoman Cassie Ramone will be releasing a LP with the Babies and bassist Kickball Katy (Katy Goodman) will be doing the same with her project La Sera . Here's another tune from the latter called "Devils Hearts Grow Gold." (I know, the missing apostrophe bugs me too). In some ways it sounds a lot like Vivian Girls, with its lovely girl group harmonies and instantly-hummable melodies. It's a [...]

Better known to you and I as a member of Vivian Girls , Katy Goodman’s side project, La Sera , has been creating a bit of stir of late. With their hushed eponymous dream-pop debut album due out on February 14, the trio have confirmed that their latest single ‘Devils Hearts Grow Gold’ will be released on January 18 via Hardly Art. You can check out the title track below, which will be back on the 7” by non-LP number, ‘Dedicated to the One I Love.’ Following the band’s shows with Jenny and Jonny [...]

We could dedicate tons and tons of space to Katy Goodman and her La Sera project: that’s how much we like it. For now though, these few short sentences will have to do. She’s got a new single out on January 18 through Hardly Art, and an album out in February. You can listen to the single here: ‘Devils Hearts Grow Old’

mpfree // La Sera - Devil’s Hearts Grow Gold A Vivian Girls side-project spills the words “side-project” into the gutter and exposes itself as something a little more serious and a little less impermanent. A beautiful, sedated showering of soft, churned chords give La Sera’s latest effort a pretty yet slightly twisted disposition. It’s not simple twee-by-numbers. It’s got the bratty edge of the Vivian Girls mixed in for good measure too. La Sera - Devils [...]

La Sera es una de las chicas de Vivian Girls que ha empezado un proyecto en solitario. Pop blandito...

Katy Goodman can typically be identified by her participation with Vivian Girls , but let's not let her rest on those laurels. She also works diligently on various projects, one of which is La Sera . Prior to the release of her self-titled album, which comes out in February on Hardly Art , Katy's putting out another single, as a follow-up to last year's. The effortlessness that seems to accompany the melodies in her songs really makes me wish she had more of a hand in writing VG tracks, [...]
There is a nursery rhyme in "Devils Hearts Grow Gold," the latest mp3 released from Katy Goodman's breezy and brilliant solo project, La Sera. It could certainly be the easy rhymes or the sing-song melody, or the pedantic and prescriptive folk advice. Or maybe it is the sub-three minute attention span, short enough to easily remember, and repetitive enough to spend the afternoon chanting it

Federleichte Pop-Melodien, handzahme Effekte und Kirchenchöre ist man bei Katy Goodman von den eher ruppigen Vivian Girls ja nun wirklich nicht gewohnt. Nach ein paar Sessions entstand ein Album, das sich unverhohlen aus Elementen der Musik der 50er bedient, ohne sie plump zu kopieren. MP3: La Sera / Devils Hearts Grow Gold Mehr davon?
