Album Intro：
Contradictory as it sounds, the Tea Party conjures ancient musical sounds while embracing technology. In their world, ouds and tambouras are as crucial to the mix as computer consoles and guitar pedals. As a result, the Eastern vibe snaking through virtually every song--which they came by honestly, having travelled extensively through Turkey--works in tandem with the electronic, industrial touches. Yet for all their cultural tourism, the Toronto-via-Windsor trio remains first and foremost a rock band. 'Release' and 'Emerald' are rare ballads, which Jeff Martin--the band's singer, principal songwriter, guitarist and producer--delivers plaintively in his bottomless baritone, ably supported by bassist-keyboardist Stuart Chatwood and drummer-percussionist Jeff Burrows. --Adem Tepedelen
