After touring the world, releasing a handful of well-received records, and starting the label Wild World with her Vivian Girls band mates, Katy Goodman played in the short-lived dream-pop band All Saints Day and released a hard-to-find self-titled 7″ of spectral pop tunes. In February 2010 she began working on fresh material for her new side band, La Sera. According to Goodman, the project’s inspiration springs from an attraction to ethereal choral vocals and pop hits of the 1950’s. Indeed

Inside Room 205, visitors are able to watch intimate performances and interviews, stream audio of the tracks and view photos of the sessions in the improvised space filled with recording equipment, sunlight and abundant creativity.
