When the Vivian Girls broke up earlier this year, we were assured that the band’s side projects (thankfully) would live on. On her third album as La Sera, ex-Vivian Girl Katy Goodman makes her best and most consistent solo record yet. Hour of the Dawn is tight, fast-paced and rocking. While sometimes breezy and summery, Hour of the Dawn features guitars galore. There are no throw-out tracks on the album. It’s really good from the opening ripper, Losing to the Dark, to the heavy closing son Storm’s End. This album is highly recommended.
