Streamers: Sun Angle, La Sera, Miniature Tigers, Tony Molina, The Britanys, Purling Hiss

Were these normal times, we would be dropping these highly esteemed songs into our Songdrop widgets. But alas, these are not normal times, as Songdrop continues to snooze, and so we post them below. (We'll be doing a followup post of videoed tuneage in just a few ticks.)

La Sera - Losing to the Dark

Goodman (L) & bandmate Todd Wisenbaker (R)

Not sure who's "losing" here, but it certainly isn't anyone with ears to hear this lovely longplayerlauncher. Former Vivian Girl Katy Goodman returns May 13 with her third LP as La Sera, following up estimable sophomore effort Sees the Light with Hour of the Dawn. According to La Sera's Hardly Art bandpage, Goodman is "waking up, throwing open the bedroom windows and welcoming the day," hence the lead-off tune, "Losing to the Dark." OK, that's enough analysis, let's just kick back and listen. And while we're at it, check out the two much-loved songs we're reposting from Sees the Light. Wachet auf, people.

La Sera - Please Be My Third Eye mp3

from forthcoming sophomore LP
Sees The Light
due 24 March on

Hardly Art says the new album will be "more direct, more aggressive" than last year's, dreamier eponymous debut. Either way's fine with us. Speaking of the debut, we're still adoring this previously posted beauty.
