Herbal Tea

***Bristol, UK home recording artist herbal tea's debut album Hear as the Mirror Echoes drifts in and out like a half-remembered dream, shaped slowly by songwriter/producer Helena Walker from late-night demos that gradually bloomed into expansive arrangements. Drawing on dream pop, ambient folk, and lo-fi production, and citing influences from Sparklehorse to Sharon Van Etten, there's an otherworldly quality in the way it softly reimagines the familiar.

"herbal tea takes the DIY intimacy of bedroom pop and expands outwards, building what might otherwise be humble demos into rich, nuanced soundscapes, as though the original basis of each track is merely a door through which entire new worlds lie in wait." – Various Small Flames

"full-on Grouper-like ambient pop.” – Stereogum

“wholly captivating.” – GoldFlakePaint
