Tea Eater - "Cecilia"

Tea Eater (the Brooklyn art punk band led by Tarra Thiessen) first came to our attention with their 2023 single "Fuck the DMV," and now they're back with new music. "Cecilia" is a high energy and high noise punk song. It's filled with a constantly fuzzing guitar over some of the hardest grooving bass out there. It's a fun and bouncy track about heartbreak, and has one of the most killer bridges we've heard in a while. "Cecilia" is the kind of song that reminds you of why you started loving music in the first place. Typically any kind of art rock isn't allowed to be fun, but Tea Eater is the kind of band that is a blast to listen to.

Tarra Thiessen says of her band's latest single:

“Cecilia is a classic heartbreaker. She is the other woman (or ex-girlfriend) that you can’t seem to get away from. People love to talk shit about her, but in reality she’s a necessary part in those who vilify her story. Without her, they wouldn’t have anyone to talk about or project their own dark parts and patterns onto.”

You can watch the video for "Cecilia" below. I Don't Believe in Bad Luck is due out March 28 on A Diamond Heart Production and La Fam Recordings, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp.
