Description
The snare flam before the final chorus of The River still startles, and on this tan translucent 2LP you can feel the room around it. Splendor Solis finds The Tea Party fusing bruised blues with Middle Eastern shadows and Jeff Martin’s baritone authority. Spread over two discs, the low end sits deeper and the space between the guitars and percussion breathes. Save Me now blooms in its long coda. Sun Going Down grinds with a hypnotic pulse. A Certain Slant of Light smolders rather than rushes, a patient build that reveals more texture here.
File it next to Led Zeppelin and the darker side of the early-90s rock shelf, but this leans heavier into trance-like repetition than nostalgia. If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Tea Party records online with us. The presentation suits late-night volume as much as a Saturday tidy, and the sequencing stretches comfortably across four sides. It is a satisfying upgrade for longtime fans and an easy primer for the curious in Melbourne. You’ll hear why this early statement still carries weight.
Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
