"a cup of tea are floating somewhere between folktronica and dancetastic grooves, the band are another tiny treasure locked away in the UK electronic scene. listening to a cup of tea there are wonderful textured layers.....an example of outstanding musical creativeness"
Matthew Laidlow @ hecklerspray
"they take you on an ambient tour of cinematic soundscapes and playful innovation...they could soon become the refreshing drink of choice for any self respecting music fan"
