from the disoriented yearning of loss to an appreciation of the brutal realities of rough living, to tender reflections on past mistakes and an acceptance of the need for community and care....High Tea have prepared a feast. Time to tuck in. - Neil Morton, Here Comes The Song
"The band’s music has an “Alice in Wonderland”-like quality to it, and not just because it was named after a tea party. DeHerdt and Eliot’s songs delve into the intimacies and intricacies of growing up, and all that adulthood entails: love, loss, isolation, frustration. But through it all, they maintain a childlike reverence for stories and storytelling, deftly weaving plot lines, narrative, and dialogue into their music." - Maya Hotman, The Boston Globe
“A Small Notion” heralds a vibrant new chapter for High Tea, embracing a richer sound while sharing relatable stories and showcasing extraordinary vocals. It’s a rare album that can make you dance joyfully one moment and tug at your heartstrings the next — truly, the magic of “A Small Notion” is undeniable. - Sheryl hunter, The Greenfield Recorder
"High Tea has successfully blended folk music with rock and punk, and made an album unlike any I’ve heard before. When listening, it’s impossible not to be impressed with the band’s songwriting abilities. Each song has its own distinct hook and identity." - Andrew LaVogue, Underground Music Collective
