Botanica

Who You Are

A sparse and precise groove anchoring majestic guitar chords and the shimmer of a Wurlitzer electric piano; the expressive force of a voice somewhere in the realm of Elvis Costello, Matt Johnson and Tom Waits--and you're close to describing the Botanica sound. Poetry in short verses; Beauty, doubt, God & the world and a sky illuminated by the pull of a thousand cigarettes.Likened by Intro Magazine to "the sonic equivalent of a provincial repertory theatre's demented adaptation of an Aki Kaurismaeki film," Botanica has been described in The New Yorker as "...trafficing in sonic noir with an undercurrent of sinewy menace...sinister sophisticates providing the perfect soundtrack to the after-hours, urban experience." "Who You Are" is the new, (6th) studio album from Botanica--to be released February 5th, 2010, followed by a Feb./March European tour. Tracklisting; 01. WHO YOU ARE 3:11 02. WITNESS 2:56 03.
