The Tea Party - Oceans

The Tea Party is one of the few great Canadian alternative bands. They have seen some success in Canada and Australia but remain unknown in the rest of the world. The Tea Party can be best described as World Music or 'Moroccan Roll'. Their influences are pretty broad and frequently feature odd instrumentation that gives a very distinct and unique feel.

'Oceans' is written for the Tea Party's former manager Scott Hoffman. Scott passed away from lung cancer in 2003. The song tackles existential issues and longing. The band was very close with Scott and his loss could have been what lead to the band disbanding in 2005. Enjoy the video, it compliments a fantastic song.
