Have you got rising Swiss-born Berlin-based singer-songwriter Anna Erhard on your radar yet? The bewitching tones and extraordinary stories of the nine idiosyncratic chamber psych songs on her third full-length Botanical Garden blow me away.

If I were a DJ, I would give Hot Family a central place in my set. If I were a music teacher, I would dedicate a lesson to Botanical Garden to show that any topic can lead to a hit. If I had a roller rink, I would add 170 to its playlist. If I were a fashion designer, Spa would be blaring from the speakers on the catwalk. Or if I were a director, I would want Not Rick on the soundtrack of my next film. But hey, I’m just a attic blogger, so I’m simply sharing this unique release here. Because this is what cool sounds like.

Botanical Garden, recorded, mixed and produced by Pola Roy, is out digitally and on vinyl LP through Radicalis Music.
