Dark Tea - Dark Tea II [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Dark Tea, the solo
project of LA-based Gary Canino, will release their new self-titled,
full-length studio album on April 30, 2021, on Fire Talk Records. The 12-track
collection expands the groups sound from their previous LP (also called Dark
Tea), further exploring Caninos cinematic visions and twangy folk narratives.

Born and raised in Huntington, NY, Garys quiet
Long Island youth gave him access to all of the pleasures and distractions of
New York City. After college at the University of Virginia, Canino made his way
to Brooklyn in 2011. He played bass with post-punk revivalists Rips, recording
and touring their debut album with Austin Brown (Parquet Courts), forming Dark
Tea in 2016. Fire Talk, a label known for left-field rockers like Pure X and Dehd,
issued the first Dark Tea LP in 2019, mixed by Jarvis Taveniere of Woods and
featuring memorable guitar work from Meg Duffy of Hand Habits.

The new Dark Tea album, recorded by Matt
Barrick (The Walkmen) and NYC punk veteran Sasha Stroud, is a document of
deeply personal, interior reflections, contrasted with the wide open spaces of
an idyllic American soundscape. Beyond the music, Gary channels his Cassavetes
obsession by making videos for Dark Tea, Current Joys, and The Berries. Its a
continuation of the Dark Tea vision: creativity, commitment, nurturing a sense
of wonder through the haze of nostalgia, while looking toward the future.
