botany bay is the sometimes active side/solo-project of eric d. schwortz, youngest grandson of morris, mollie, oscar and esther.
"[old age is for the birds], botany bay's sad elegy for all of our inevitable declines fittingly starts with an anxious bare bones strum... sad and rich vocal tones recall sad and dead indie icon Elliott Smith's... the guitars get choppy as if they've just had a sip of the hip new cola drink and are ready to rage up, arthritis be damned. But reality sets in, backs remember their knots, and slower, more deliberate playing resumes, anger melting quickly into regret."

choice is great, definatley my new favorite tune.. forgive the comparison but I cant help but be reminded of one of my favorite albums of all time, where have all the merrymakers gone. thats a good thing.
