We’ve been obsessed with the title track for a long time and were overjoyed when the album came out. It dances the line between being playful, bubbly and laugh out loud funny without venturing in to being cringey or silly. Perfect feet tapping music without being afraid of a sudden left turn in to being different and weird.
Out now on Radicalis, Anna Erhard’s new album, her third, marks another massive creative step in the career of a singular artist. On “Botanical Garden” Anna is celebrating this super smart release with an extensive European tour.
Anna has come a long way since leaving the chamber-folk-pop trio Serafyn in the late 2010s. Always a fan of the British sense of humour embodied by Fawlty Towers, as well as the laconic lyrics of the Roches or Jonathan Richman, she has now clearly found her voice. “Botanical Garden” is a lot less scattershot than what’s gone before focusing with scalpel-sharp precision on the satirical dissection of modern-day hipster mores, accompanied by subversively subtle indie guitars. Her devilish analysis of her conflict of emotions about an opportunistic pal joining the Blue Man Group is very enjoyable. “Botanical Garden” was produced by Pola Roy and recorded with a bunch of musicians from Anna’s circle of Berlin friends.
