"Sounds like 'I found a reason' by the Velvets, yet- and get this-even cooler. Didn't think it was possible, did you?" – NME
" Simultaneously brilliant and unhinged " – The Independent
"They switch continually between scribbling punkabilly and utterly stripped-down lo-fi, with magical results" – ROUGHTRADE
Screaming Tea Party are two parts Tokyo boys - Niyan on guitar and Koichi on bass - and one part English girl – Nell - on the drums. Their background takes in the diverse worlds of being both classically trained and cutting their teeth in Japanese noise bands: this musical and cultural collision makes them truly unique. The band list their musical influences as: The Damned, Velvet Underground, Butthole Surfers, Abba, Morita-douji, Yurayura-teikoku, Leonard Cohen, Dinosaur Jr, Can, Francoise Hardy, Sonic Youth.
This mini-album perfectly showcases what a mercurial beast Screaming Tea Party are. From the snarling, Sabbath riffs of opener I’d Rather Be Stuck On The Stair Rail, to the Alice in Wonder Land waltz of title track Golden Blue: here is a band that can change direction at the drop of a hat and sound equally at home making ear-bleedingly loud, thrash guitar work outs, to beautiful other worldly, psych-ballads.
