Album description

This text is not available in your chosen language, we are displaying it in its original language.

Botany Bay are a Germany based alternative pop project, consisting mainly of Stephan Kleinert (instruments, programming) and Laura Dietrich (lead vocals, keyboards), playing an organic mixture of world music, experimental pop and rock, augmented with classical arrangements and free-form improvisation.

In October 2007, Laura and Stephan released their current album "Grounded", which they recorded in a period of over four years and with the help of numerous guest musicians. Although "Grounded" doesn't tell a continuous story, it is a concept album in the sense that all tracks are connected to each other thematically and/or musically.

"Grounded" is released under a creative commons license.

A lot to like

This is some excellent music. An intriguing and beguiling mixture of vintage and modern instrumental sounds, the vocals are beautifully done. Very easy on the ear.

If you're only listening for quick-hit pop that's maybe 2.5 min long, it would be easy to miss this album. They take a little time to build atmosphere with a few of the songs, so I'd advise listening the album through rather than track-hopping on the first playthrough.

that familiar female voice

I swear I heard that voice somewhere before, she has such sweetness in it and the songs are well arranged with great heart felt tunes, I liked that slightly Gothic touch in moon child

True Artistry

This album is a mixture of hauntingly beautiful instrumental and vocal tracks. Elements of many musical styles are present but I would loosely class it as world folk.

I would like to encourage everyone to visit the artists web site. The biography makes interesting reading. I'm amazed this album ever saw the light of day considering the rocky road it has traveled.
