About This Item
New York City based songwriter Gary Canino, submits to you a generous collection of country-inflected music under the Dark Tea moniker that honor the past while looking ahead. There is, as they say, a little something for everyone. With Dark Tea, Gary emerges as a scientist does from her lab, having cracked the formula. The formula? Honor the listeners' desire for both danger and comfort. And so, when a melody starts to wander from the marked trail, Gary soothes the listener's ear with a simple one-four (InchVariable RewardInch). And so, when ambling verse figure disorients the listener, it repeats until she feels at home in it (InchThe Bird's NestInch). And so, a long verse finds punctuation in a tasteful punchy chorus (InchNo NotificationsInch). The album also contains no fewer than three truly great guitar solos, including one from Meg Duffy's Hand Habits on InchRollin' Back The DialInch. Mixed by Jarvis Taveniere (Woods), mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control).01. Rolling Back The Dial ft. Hand Habits02. Variable Reward03. Angel of Night04. The Old Country Road Waltz05.
