According to Katy Goodman, Music For Listening To Music To is a statement. She states that “while
working on this record, we didn’t set out to create music for commercials,
music for licensing, or music for your office Spotify playlist. It’s music for listening
to, and it’s the best kind of music there is.”
Produced by Ryan Adams, this is the fourth album under the
name La Sera, following on from the reverby 60s style chamber pop of La Sera and two other great solo
records, Sees The Light and Hour Of The Dawn. Music For Listening to Music To throws The Smiths, Johnny Cash and
Taylor Swift into one huge melting pot to create something truly unique.
Newly added full time band member, Katy’s husband Todd
Weisenbacker, adds a new element to this latest La Sera release with his Johnny
Marr style guitaring and baritone vocals. ‘One
True Love’ is a duet with probably the catchiest guitar riff I have ever
heard. Another highlight for me, Nineties,
feels nostalgic in exactly the way one would expect given the song title.
If you haven’t heard of La Sera before I have no doubt you
will be hearing a lot more about this band in the years to come. Music For Listening To Music To stacks
up very well with the other three La Sera releases, and is a great listen for
both fans and new listeners.
