The Tea Party - TRIPtych (Excerpt) "The band’s own analogy is that Transmission was them throwing a tightrope over a huge crevice, and their follow-up album was them going back and building a bridge over the same crevice. It was a consolidation of their evolving sound, taking influences from their previous three albums and blending them together with a conscious focus on vocal melody. The end result of this was appropriately named Triptych. A ‘set of three artistic works hinged or tied together’ is one meaning behind the album’s title. The world instrumentation was front and centre for some tracks, Samsara and Halcyon Days. The electronica introduced in the last album underpinned most of the tracks and the hard rock elements were ever present. Vocally Jeff took inspiration from the lyrical phrasings of Jeff Buckley. Indeed, in the earlier days of touring the UK they had a gig cancelled as they had been replaced by Jeff Buckley. Not knowing who he was at the time the band acquired a copy of his album, hoping to dismiss it, but were immediately captivated – indeed later introducing Hallelujah as a live insert. Martin’s voice in Triptych is more expressive and melodic than in the previous releases, with a higher register being attained."
