La Sera is the dreamy pop songwriting vehicle for Brooklyn bassist Katy Goodman -- of D.I.Y. punk band Vivian Girls -- who began penning solo songs in February 2009. The outfit signed to Hardly Art Records in 2010 and subsequently released a pair of singles. The songs touch on an array of emotion, with heartbreak, love, and death all covered in each song with three minutes of dreamy guitar and reverb-washed harmonies. The band's self-titled debut, a collection of beautifully constructed tunes, was released in 2011, with a softer feel than the Vivian Girls had, one where Goodman revels in her dreamy pop creations. The album's intricate cover art was designed by Vivian Girls bandmate Cassie Ramone. ~ Scott Kerr
