After giving it some time, this is absolutely my favorite song of the fall. It seizes me every time I hear it. I love it so much. Thank you @orindal.bsky.social Records. Also, read reviews by @jenpkelly.bsky.social, who did one for this album. "Driving slow / to a bridge / I kinda know / where."

Genuinely think Owen Ashworth's Orindal Records have a pretty untouchable track record. This latest, from Helena Walker's Herbal Tea is a woozy psychedelic dream-folk treat, with shades of Linda Perhacs or a more pastoral Grouper. It's so lovely I don't even mind that her group is called Herbal Tea.

“Sundown” herbal tea — Hear as the Mirror Echoes (2025)

"This album is pure pleasure for 41 minutes, a calm and gorgeous respite from the noise around us." Thank you Jennifer Kelly for reviewing Hear as the Mirror Echoes by herbal tea for Aquarium Drunkard. aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/09/04/h...

"In the age of self-promotion, where artists are expected to constantly shout loudly for your attention, herbal tea seems to be playing her own game, a slow burn, a gradual progression, an artist willing to wait for you to find her, and one who will definitely be ready for you when you do."

Like ambient pop? We suggest herbal tea.

"herbal tea takes the DIY intimacy of bedroom pop and expands outwards, building what might otherwise be humble demos into rich, nuanced soundscapes, as though the original basis of each track is merely a door through which entire new worlds lie in wait." varioussmallflames.co.uk/2025/08/07/h...
