WV58 - La Sera - 10 Headed Goat Wizard
Yes, you picked this big old dose of sunshine garage rock as the song for my WorldVision 58 entry. La Sera obliterated poor Foxygen which is sad, but what that means is that you hopefully really enjoyed the two top placing songs and the artist i'm sending.
La Sera are a three piece band based in Los Angeles, California. The band features Katy Goodman (former Vivian Girls member), Todd Wisenbaker and Daniel Gomez. La Sera formed in 2010 after Katy moved from New York to California on a whim. The band are part of the
Burger Records gang, a super cool Californian record label that still releases music on cassette. Fellow label mates include Mikal Cronin, Hunx, NoBunny, Shannon and the Clams, King Tuff and Ty Segall.
"10 Headed Goat Wizard" is the strangely titled song i'll be sharing with WorldVision this edition. I started listening to the band a few years back and forgot about them for a while, but really got back into them after hearing this song. I just love it. So infectious and hypnotic. I can't help but sway to it. Gotta love jangly guitars.
I couldn't have found you if I wasn't looking
You keep your best hid away
Double over in pain, it's just like the rain
Rain don't come much round this way
I think I know, yeah, but who can be certain
Sometimes my thoughts slip away
And I look to those days overgrown in haze
Drink like a flower in the rain
Look to those days, overgrown in haze
Drink like a flower in the rain
And I'll bow to the sun and salute everyone
Kneel on a knee for I'm reverent of He
He who won't take my, He who won't take my
He who won't take my love away
I couldn't have found you if I wasn't looking
I'd give my best hit away
And double the pain, you would like the rain
Rain don't come much round this way
Double the pain, you would like the rain
Rain don't come much round this way
And I'll bow to the sun and salute everyone
Kneel on a knee for I'm reverent of He
He who won't take my, He who won't take my
He who won't take my love away
And I'll blow Him a kiss and thank God I exist
He who won't take my, He who won't take my
He who won't take my love away
NF Results
Poor Foxygen
I really thought that "How Can You Really" would be up there fighting it out for the win. Combining each artists songs together La Sera had 136 points and Foxygen only 89. That's a 47 point difference. Foxygen only ended up with two first finishes in your rankings, one for each song. "10 Headed Goat Wizard" was comfortably leading from very early on until "Break My Heart" started receiving big points, but it wasn't enough. Thank you once again to all the voters and I hope you enjoy the song.
