Home / Artists / Our Broken Garden / Lost Sailor EP

In late summer of 2006 Anna Broensted found a hidden paradise amongst the hills, forests, and lakes in Denmark. There with her friends she moved into an old abandoned village school, and it was here that she began to write the songs for Our Broken Garden’s debut EP.

Anna was soon joined by various talented musician friends and after six months of recording the EP and album were complete. It was at this point that following a chance encounter Anna was offered a boat trip across the Atlantic with two sailors she met via her friends. Without knowing what it would be like to be in the open sea on a 31ft sailboat, she readily agreed. At the same time as the boat set sail the acclaimed producer Ian Caple started mixing the music. It was at this point that Anna began to think that her subconscious had perhaps played a trick on her. The lyrics she had written a year ago were immersed in powerful water symbols, and now she had thrown herself out to the open sea to travel 7000 kilometres. When the boat arrived in Rio de Janeiro two months later the songs had been mixed and were complete.

Atmospheric and hypnotic, Our Broken Garden mix handmade electric sounds with organic instrumentation to create a deeply graceful, down-tempo style of music, with Anna’s angelic vocals as the focal point.

Anna Brønsted is known to many as the singer and piano player of Efterklangs live band.
