La Sera - Sees the Light

Review by Russell Warfield

Sees The Light's best songs draw just as much strength from their simplicity as they do from their addictive refrains.»

Buy now from:

the second lp from la sera (aka katy goodman from vivian girls) is ten new tracks of peppy break-up pop brimming with defiance and bitter sweetness, recorded with rob barbato (the fall, darker my love) in california. where the first la sera album was super-dreamy in its layered vocals, 'sees the light' is more direct, more aggressive; almost a soundtrack to a lost drive-in movie classic. this is not an album for half-hearted partakers in the heartache scene: just an all-consuming love for punk as pop and pop as punk. on hardly art.
