Editorial Reviews

To describe the sound of The Battle of Land and Sea, one might call up images of abandoned sea-worn ships floating through a thick coastal fog. And upon first listen you might call to mind Cat Power, or the soft glow of Songs of Green Pheasant. But eventually, you start to hear what makes the music of Portland based Sarah O'Shura so special. You get a glimpse of a world through the eyes of a someone on a musical pilgrimage, whether the tales are laden with sorrow or joy, they are enchanting and hopeful.

This review is from: Battle of Land & Sea (Audio CD)

Calm, serene, eerie, lyrical, haunting, and lovely, Sarah O'Shura's vocals and acoustic guitar, accompanied by Joshua Carny on electric guitar and banjo is not quite like anything I have ever heard before. It is a bit like the soundtrack to a sad and poignant movie with lots of images of the heroine looking out of a speeding train's window at the grey countryside passing by. It is the kind of music to listen to late at night in front of the fire, or when driving long distances alone. Lonely, quiet, forlorn, but gorgeous too. An exquisite album. Battle of Land & Sea
