A former York University student, Sarah Slean is also an accomplished painter and photographer. She recorded her first album Universe at the age of 19 and has since completed several other albums including: Blue Parade (1998), Night Bugs (2002), and Day One (2004). Night Bugs was her first major label album, co-produced by Slean and Hawksley Workman, and released by WEA in Canada and Atlantic Records in the United States. It was heavily inspired by cabaret music.
It was on September 28, 2004, that Slean released her fourth album, Day One. Here Slean’s piano takes a less important spot for the first time in her career. The focus is more on beats, rhythms and guitar, which shines through in the album’s first single “Lucky Me”. The up-tempo title track “Day One”, and “Mary”, a song about Slean’s grandmother, were released as the second and third singles.
In October 2006, Slean released a mostly-live album, Orphan Music, which consists of songs recorded live at Toronto’s Harbourfront Theatre and the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Other new tracks featuring Slean and the piano were recorded at DNA Recording Facility in Toronto and Kensaltown Studios in the UK.
Also in 2006, she contributed two tracks (“Us And Them” and “Comfortably Numb”) to Pink Floyd Redux, a modern 12-track tribute to Pink Floyd.
Her newest album The Baroness was released March 2008.

It is a very enjoyable album, Land and Sea, it's just the cover that is so boring and horrible!

"I Am a LIght" is spellbinding me right now. I'm enjoying both "Land" and "Sea" much more than I have her past couple of albums.

Babooshko is right, it's definitely a grower! Especially Land. The more I listen to it, the more I recognize old school Slean elements. Society Song is almost a twin to Bank Accounts, while the percussion and guitar on Girls Hating Girls remind me of Playing Cards with Judas.

So far I am so disoppointed about Land & Sea. Gotta put on Orphan Music soon to remind myself why I'm a fan of Sarah.

I absolutely love 'Land & Sea'... Both CD's are fantastic. I love the the orchestral arrangements on 'Sea'. My favorites from 'Land' are Society Song, Life, Amen and I Am A light. From 'Sea' i love Napoleon, Attention Archers, You're Not Alone and The Right Words.

Okay, now I finally have it all and now that I've listened to "Sea" much more, I'm now clueless... I actually like both sides - they're both equally good, I'm proud of the CD, the thing is that you have to be in the right mood to "get" one part over other one, or even both. The "Land" makes me move, while "Sea" makes me sit and watch leafs walling of trees and think about things like eternity, love, time and what's important and what is "still here while we're living", I say, "Land" is for happy days and "Sea" for these days when you want to sit down and just think. That is how it's for me :)

Personally I choose simple Sarah without any orchestra just her and piano, like on Beauty Lives (B-sides), all thought she really goes together with orchestra, however I still have to listen to "Sea" more.

sea part is amazing. Land is not so bad, everybodys on TV is great but these orchestral songs blow me away. Total rate: 7,5/10
