Album Intro

Album list

Album name：Splendor Solis

The Tea Party's 1993 debut, Splendor Solis, may not be marked by the Eastern influences that would characterize later releases, but it's no less ambitious. Combining a plethora of styles and sounds, from folk and rock to blues, into one heady--and heavy--sound, the Tea Party don't so much write songs as craft mini-epics to showcase their sprawling repertoire of global instruments. Add vocalist-guitarist Jeff Martin's rumbling baritone and somewhat hippy-dippy lyrics, and Splendor Solis is at once a throwback to the '60s and a tip-off to the trio's future as one of Canada's most adventurous rock bands. --Adem Tepedelen
