next up is the marvelous opening track Beating Heart from LA-based indie/garage-pop artist La Sera, the new solo project of Katy Goodman {of Vivian Girls} from her just released self-titled debut solo album "La Sera" (2011).
Beating Heart is a haunting lament that gently comes into being. a clean, picked guitar riff chimes away, the lethargic drumbeat mimics the steady pounding of a mournful, weary heart, a tambourine gently jingles away, Goodman's warm, ethereal vocals softly lilt, while surging, choral-like harmonies wash over us like a fine mist, an epic, shoegazing, feedback laden guitar solo pierces the serenity, creating a sense of release before the song fades away into the ether.
