New music video from Tea Eater

Hailing from New York, Tea Eater is the emerging art punk band fronted by Tarra Thiessen of acts Gustaf and Sharkmuffin, who have burst onto the scene with their highly anticipated debut single, “Double.” Known for their electrifying performances and surf rock style grooves, Tea Eater brings a refreshing and compelling sound to the music scene. Their forthcoming debut album, Obsession, produced and mixed by Drew Vandenburg, promises to be a whirlwind of power and an invitation to embrace your neurosis and let it transmute into something worth dancing about.

“Double” serves as the perfect introduction to Tea Eater’s unique and original sound. The track is a raucous blend of rock and punk, making for a powerful entrance by this exciting new outfit. It’s fiery, noisy and energetic, yet infused with a hint of sweetness that makes the experience all the more enjoyable. The song fuses elements of surf rock, reminiscent of something Quentin Tarantino might consider for his next soundtrack. “Double” is a lesson in the art of Tea Eater, showcasing their ability to deliver an impactful and memorable track right from the start.

In less than two minutes, “Double” immerses listeners in an angsty rock journey, brimming with punk attitude. Moody, driving guitar chords open the song, setting the stage for Tarra Thiessen’s commanding lead vocals. Her voice takes on a subtly eerie quality as she delivers melodic leads that captivate the listener. Supported by bright harmonies, Thiessen’s vocals are backed by grooving riffs, energising drums, and fuzzy bass lines, resulting in a high-octane rock anthem. The track is a sonic punch, packed with raw energy and a sense of urgency that leaves you craving more.

Accompanying the single is a visually captivating music video directed by Tine Hill of Gustaf. Shot on location in Lake Placid, New York, the video captures Tarra Thiessen performing the track in a natural landscape scene and inside a woodland cabin. As the video progresses, the shots become progressively more bizarre, enhancing the overall experience of the song and adding an intriguing visual layer to Tea Eater’s artistic vision.

Tea Eater’s debut single “Double” showcases their ability to engage and excite listeners with their distinctive sound. With their forthcoming debut full-length record on the horizon and a string of live shows scheduled in the UK for later this year, the band has hit the ground running, leaving a lasting impression with their superb first offering.

Tea Eater’s ability to blend infectious energy, thought-provoking lyricism and a touch of catchy appeal makes them a must watch act in the music scene of New York and beyond. Their unique style and uncompromising approach to their own sound set them apart, and it’ll be thrilling to see where their musical journey takes them next.
