Sera Cahoone's Tiny Desk Concert at NPR Music

Sera Cahoone got her start playing drums for a few widely adored bands in the Pacific Northwest, most notably Band of Horses and the spell-checker-defying Carissa's Wierd. But her self-titled, self-released 2006 album marked her as a fully formed talent — a warm and inviting singer whose songs convey world-weariness and homespun grace.

Hammock music? That guy makes boilen look cool...

I like to sip metaphorically ice cold Zima while, in my mind, Sera Cahoone rakes beach sand with a lolly pop....wearing nothing but a three piece wool business suit with galoshes and a stethascope; all the while--in my imagination--I am dreaming of a dream where I imagine that I'm literally drunk on the aforementioned Zima and Sera Cahoone is laying down some soothing "Speedo music"--the type of songs that wrap me in a metaphoric banana hammock of musical bliss and beachside ecstasy....mmmmmmmmm

[dxs2007]

It's definitely you, strangetribe...how do you see wind, anyway?

[strangetribe]

I dont get the beach imagery... She s a fine artist ..I love her music...Hammock music sounds like some weird Jimmy Buffett scenario.. I see eagles .wind and gray moody skies and alienated relationships..I dont think the whole sexual banana thing.cpatures her on any level .Anti Madonna,,,Must be me
