Mad Tea Party “Found a Reason”
November 15, 2008 by joel.
This is a fun toned-down rockabilly album. Mad Tea Party feature ukulele and good times on “Found a Reason.” “I Never Was a Cool One” is a fun track, although on iTunes you may see it listed as “I Was Never a Cool One.” No matter what you want to call it, dig the lyrics.
“Waltz of Despair” reminds me of Neko Case, specifically her song “Jettison.” We all need more waltzes in life. The title track has a ’60s Mamas and Papas feel to it. “Blues Slip In” has nice poppy backing vocals. It also does a good job as the first track, because it gives a general overview of what the rest of the album will sound like.
“Bombs” is a good choice if you want to hear Jason Krekel instead of Ami Worthen, who is a capable singer and ukeslinger but could stand to benefit from learning how to spell her first name correctly.
Speaking of Worthen, “I Went Out” is Mad Tea Party at their best. Worthen sings with confidence, and the backing harmonies make for a good time.
