Dive deep where daylight dies.

Shanties of the Nightmare Seas is a twisted voyage through the darkest corners of the ocean, where bioluminescence glows like warning signs and ancient horrors still stir below. From parasitic tongues and bone-crushing worms to krakens, sea angels, and bottom-feeding beasts, this 12-track collection blends haunting melodies with sea shanty grit and dream-fueled nightmares.

Inspired by true deep-sea monstrosities and surreal dreams, these songs aren't just about survival—they're about what survives after you’re gone.

Brought to you by Botany with Friends, this is the sea as you've never heard it before: hungry, haunting, and horrifyingly catchy.

Starlight Void: Shanties from Space is a voyage where sea shanty grit collides with the silence of the cosmos. Across twelve tracks, alien myths, haunted wrecks, and cosmic horrors are carried on the winds of chanty choruses and stomping rhythms. These aren’t just songs of the sea—they’re work songs for the void, tales sung by asteroid miners, lost voyagers, and starlit sirens.

From the eerie pull of Saturn’s sirens to Europa’s parasites gnawing in the ice, from shipwreck bone-fields in the asteroid belt to the final plea to “Sing Us to the Sun,” this collection captures the spirit of survival in the infinite deep. It’s eerie, raw, and strangely catchy—otherworldly folklore set to the rhythm of the stars.

Brought to you by Botany with Friends, this album continues the tradition of storytelling through shanties—only this time, the horizon is a black hole, and the tavern is among the stars.
