Hayden: Everything I Long For – 2LP (20th Anniversary Edition)

La Sera – “High Notes” [Video]

Here is the first music video from La Sera’s forthcoming album, Music For Listening To Music To, which is out March 4 on Polyvinyl Records. “High Notes,” showcases a little more twang from Katy Goodman and the crew than we are used to which really works with her voice.

It probably is not a stretch to blame this new found direction on producer Ryan Adams as he helped take La Sera into the analog realm for a more back-to-basics approach. Without having heard the entire record yet, I will trust my gut and say that their efforts will be a win.

Also for your own warning – watch out for that gorilla on drums. He is a ripper!

Baby Jesus – “You Make Me Fry” [Video]

Here is the new video from Scandinavian garage/psych band, Baby Jesus. The group released their self-titled debut late last year on Yippee Ki Yay Record. The entire album was recorded during one live session then mixed and mastered all on their own in a studio they built themselves in Hamstad, Sweden.

The video is a perfect fit with its slightly out of focus basement playing. If raw garage rock is your thing there is no reason not to let the Baby Jesus in!
