La Sera – “La Sera” – [hardly art]

humana   3/3/2011   A Library, CD

Katy Goodman of the Vivian Girls has kept herself creatively occupied with writing and singing these fanciful songs. Brady Hall plays all the instruments, leaving Goodman free to exercise her lovely voice that harmonizes (sometimes hauntingly) with herself. There is a paradoxical earthy instrumentation mixed with the ethereal vocals that will enchant or jar, depending on the tune.
