"Seattle garage-pop pretties Tea Cozies bop to a darkly sexy, sauced-up Britpop that's marinated in such transcendent '90s girl rock as the Breeders and Elastica. Playful, catchy and smart as a whip, the three girls and one (lucky) guy prove Seattle's scene to be at least one indie band away from completely dead."

-Jay Horton Willamette Week Portland, OR 05.10.08

"Naming themselves after a British tea insulator, Tea Cozies play frantic guitar-centric pop that reminds me of what Deerhoof would sound like if they popped a chill pill and started hanging out with the Rondelles. Hailing from Seattle, Tea Cozies transform the gray days of their city into a hologram of sunshine-soaked, jangly art-rock with sweet-as-a-lollipop girl-on-girl vocal harmonies. While their fingers are sticky from borrowing influence from Britpop and '60s-era American underground icons, Tea Cozies successfully transform their inspirations into arrangements that sound completely fresh and new. Post-post-modernism, anyone?"

Band of the Month

Venus Zine April 2008

"The amount of great Seattle bands, which can at least peripherally be considered power pop, never ceases to amaze me. It seems like I discover a new favorite just about every week. This week it's Tea Cozies who play smart, quirky, rhythmic, punk spiked pop that reminds me of Elastica (one of my favorite bands of the '90s), Deerhoof and Blonde Redhead...."

"The precocious child of Brit and indie pop, Seattle's Tea Cozies sound as great as any of their influences on their debut EP. Underneath the fiery emotions expressed is an undeniably accessible charm. Playful, passionate and defiant, the band's catchy songs are intelligent, strong and well-crafted."

-Tom Murphy, Critic's Picks for 2007 The Westword Denver,CO 12.27.07

-----------------------------------------------

While the ever-present deluge of indie-pop bands in this town can sometimes make it difficult to sort out the merely listenable from the truly exceptional, the Tea Cozies fall squarely in the latter category. Steeped in the transcendent pop of Elastica and the Breeders, stirred in with the soulful swoon of PJ Harvey or Mazzy Star, and topped with the cockeyed, ramshackle energy of early Talking Heads, these just-under-the-radar charmers are a band to watch in the new year.
