Sera Cahoone

Sera Cahoone is currently on the road supporting Sea Wolf (who is playing solo acoustic this time around). That tour, which also includes singer-songwriter Patrick Park, hits Mercury Lounge in NYC (with Golden Bloom) on Sunday (tickets) and Knitting Factory in Brooklyn the next day (tickets). All dates are below.

Sera isn't out promoting anything really, but she is involved in some new records, sort of, and those are the Carissa's Wierd reissues that are coming soon (October 12th to be exact) from Sub Pop-related label Hardly Art. Pre-order all that stuff, and get a taste (if you're not already familiar) via the five free MP3's on the top of this post.

And though Sera isn't signed to Hardly Art (she's on Sub Pop), La Sera is! (sorry)

Going to the shows? Look out for a new Sea Wolf 7"...

...Also, my label will be releasing a 7" vinyl-and-digital-only single for 'Turn the Dirt Over' (from White Water, White Bloom), which will be available during the tour. The 7" single will include a remix by Broken Social Scene's Brendan Canning, and the digital version (which you may purchase on it's own, or will come free with the 7") will also contain an unreleased Sea Wolf track called: 'Where the Wind Blows'. -Sea Wolf

Sera Cahoone @ Sub Pop SXSW 2008 (more by Ryan Muir)

"How far will this thing go? And what the heck do we call it?

To answer the first question we need to look at the scene's origins. In the beginning, there were two bands.

The first is Carissa's Wierd, a Seattle "sadcore" band whose members included Sera Cahoone, Mat Brooke and Ben Bridwell. (Brooke and Bridwell went on to form Band of Horses, from which sprung Grand Archives). They were true originals, quiet, mournful and eerie; were briefly signed to Sub Pop; and were local favorites from the mid-'90s until their 2003 demise.

The second is Beachwood Sparks, a Los Angeles collective whose music was a clear and proud homage to the Byrds, Neil Young and Buffalo Springfield, the very same godfathers of the Moondoggies, Fleet Foxes and Grand Archives. Beachwood Sparks was also signed to Sub Pop, somewhere around 1999 until the band's dissolution in 2002."
[The new Seattle sound is pretty, pastoral and mellow]

Grand Archives @ Sasquatch 2008 (more by Chris Graham)

Grand Archives is an American indie rock band, formed in Seattle. The band, originally called Archives, is composed of several noted musicians from that city, led by Mat Brooke, former guitarist and vocalist for Carissa's Wierd and former guitarist for Band of Horses.

The band emerged, under their previous moniker, to little fanfare in March 2007.... [Wikipedia]

Grand Archives are on tour with Sera Cahoone. That's a lot of Carissa's Wierd. This Friday the 13th they'll be at Bowery Ballroom in NYC - part of a four band bill that also includes The M's and Centro-Matic. Then the next day you can catch both of them again at Union Hall in Brooklyn. All tour dates and some videos below....

As befits the week after SXSW, many of the new music releases were featured at the music conference. I caught one of Destroyer's sets, and it was the musical highlight of my trip. The band's new disc Trouble in Dreams is another gem from the songwriting genius of Dan Bejar.

Of the remaining new releases, many are outstanding, but the surprisingly interesting M. Ward & Zooey Deschanel collaboration She & Him's Volume 1, DeVotchKa's A Mad and Faithful Telling, the Kills' Midnight Boom, and Sera Cahoone's Only as the Day Is Long are the ones I have been recommending most.

Interesting reissues this week include two Mogwai discs, EP + 6 (remastered) and Kicking a Dead Pig (remastered with bonus disc), but the reissues of the week belong to Mission of Burma. Matador Records (who always do reissues right) have remastered three MoB albums: Horrible Truth About Burma, Signals, Calls and Marches, Vs., and each features bonus discs filled with live tracks, demos, and rarities.

What new music are you picking up this week? Have I left anything off the list?
