NEW RELEASES THIS FROM RHYTHMETHOD:

ANNA CODDINGTON ~ Cat & Bird

Combines a quirky pop style with elements of acoustic balladry for a collection of guitar driven indie songs and stories. There is a shift toward louder guitars and bigger dynamics this time around, and an emphasis on the sound of a band surrounding the songs -Cat & Bird shines with the talents of Anna’s band, drummer Riki Gooch (Eru Dangerspiel, Trinity Roots), bass player Mike Hall (Nightchoir, Pluto) and keyboardist/vocalist extraordinaire LA Mitchell (Dave Dobbyn, The Dukes).

LA SERA ~ La Sera

Debut full-length from the side project of Vivian Girls' Katy Goodman. Musically the album moves away from the harsh punk sound of the Vivian Girls and towards Katy’s woozy surfy dreampop. Inspiration springs from an attraction to ethereal choral vocals and pop hits of the 1950's.
