Description
Saturday-night drive across Melbourne, and Temptation hits with that clipped synth-bass throb; headlights feel faster. The Tea Party’s Transmission catches the trio at their most wired, welding sequenced beats to thick guitars and Jeff Martin’s baritone. Release churns like a machine room yet blooms into a cathartic chorus, while Psychopomp pulls back into a haunted lull that still presses on the chest.
This LP pressing gives the low end more weight and the imaging opens up, so the programmed pulse and live drums sit together without smear. Small textures, from filter sweeps to hand percussion and vocal doubles, are easier to place.
File it next to Nine Inch Nails, but note how the band keep one boot in bluesy hard rock even as the electronics bite. It’s a late-90s industrial rock document that still feels physical rather than purely digital. If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Tea Party records online with us.
The sequencing stays gripping and rewards volume. Artwork reproduction is tidy and the blacked-out aesthetic suits the music. Spin it loud and you get the tug-of-war the band intended: ceremony versus circuitry, sweat versus signal. Order online now or swing past our Preston shop to pick it up.
