Sounds Likethe love child of a circuit board and a music box

"Using multiple laptops, keyboards, synthesizers, effects pedals, a cello, a flute, a guitar, a bass, a live drum set and a drum machine, they [tealights] mix female vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Cranberries with a chamber-ensemble-gone-industrial instrumental prowess."
- Stomp and Stammer

"As Mary began accompanying the rolling thunder coming from Mikey's laptop with her cello, the two struck a union that instantly raised the hairs on the back of my neck."
- Paste Magazine

"We'd rather call this cello-sporting Atlanta quartet … er … classico-dub. Or ... er ... deep Strauss. It's not as easy as it looks, is it?."
- The Guardian.co.uk

"I have definite plans to catch up on one of my favorite up-and-coming Atlanta bands, Tealights (no “the” before “tea”). Each time I see these kids, they just keep getting better- comes out sounding, all at once, A) like Lali Puna having tea snacks with Jimmy Tamborello while discussing Monika records B) like nothing else, really and C) instantly heart-breaking, comforting and familiar... It was pretty much heart-stopping."
- Resonator Magazine

"[Tealights] combines a palette of electronics, cello, keys, guitar and live drums to conjure a darker, richer — though no less dramatic — sound than that of their previous group."
- Creative Loafing

"Long live the resurgence of trip-hop. Neo-triphop even."

   About t e a l i g h t s

TEALIGHTS is an indie-electronica band with classical infusions founded in June 2008. Early into its conception, the band found itself experimenting with vox harmonies, electronic beats, live drums, synths, pedals, keyboard, guitar, bass, cello, flute, melodica, and bells. Knight, an experienced rock singer-songwriter, would blend her luminous brand of vocals with the more delicate, droning tone of Shim's, creating the perfect balance for Tealights. To accentuate Johnson's electronic briliance, Kelly creates another dimension using gadgets and live drums.

Tealights began debuting their sound locally in September 2008 and have grasped comparisons to the likes of The Cranberries and Portishead. They have since graced the stage as opening acts for the Parenthetical Girls, the Evangelicals, Au, Starfucker, and Asobi Seksu. In March 2009, Tealights officially released their demo/EP and plan to tour the east coast in the late fall.
