notes

Two Loons for Tea is Sarah Scott (vocals & songwriting) and
Jonathan Kochmer (guitars, effects, songwriting & production).

Sarah's traffic-stopping vocals have been compared with Bjork, Gwen
Stefani, Billie Holiday, Tori Amos and other greats -- as
Tablet Magazine notes, Sarah "avoids the usual female-vocalist
pigeonholes by simply transcending all of them".

Jonathan's guitar playing is multilayered, hypnotically lush, sometimes reminiscent of The Edge or Henry Frayne. Using
alternate tunings, guitar synths and sophisticated effects units, his
sonic contributions are as frequently textural and orchestral as
guitaristic.

We sometimes perform or record as a duo, but are usually
backed by a variety of world-class musicians who masterfully help
create the complexity and richness we envision for our material.

Although stylistically diverse -- ranging from pop, trip-hop, rock,
jazz and drum n' bass -- there is a distinct and consistent essence that
is immediately identifiable as "the Two Loons for Tea sound":
sensuous, moody, cinematic, and emotionally
compelling. We've been told by many people that once they've heard
the full CD, it becomes a soundtrack for that time in their life.


We're currently working on our 2nd CD, "Looking for Landmarks",
which is being co-produced by Eric Rosse (Tori Amos) and
Matt Chamberlain (drummer for Fiona Apple, Critters Buggin,
Macy Gray, etc.).

If you want to get in touch with us, send an email to
twoloons@twoloons.com -- we look forward to hearing
from you!

Ciao!

    A sensual, moody and cinematic album with exquisite female vocals and lush multilayered music ranging from trip-hop to pop to jazz. Features guest performances by members of King Crimson, Critters Buggin, Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians. This is an album of tremendous intelligence and range.

  • Best CD of it's type I've heard this year.

    I've been following Two Loons on mp3.com for awhile. It's nice to see a band from mp3 take off. The CD is exactly as the band said. Much warmer on disk than online. They have a very lush sound that is reminicent of bands from 4AD. Good use of textures and layered sounds make this a great CD to listen to on a breezy late night driving by a lake as the moon reflects off its surface. It's hard not to put tranquil pictures to their music. Best CD of it's music type I've heard this year.

  • Heavenly

    I have been utterly obsessing over this album--it is a wonderful combination of jazz, pop, trip hop, electronica, atmospheric guitar, and great raspy/rich vocals, a mix of smoothness with liveliness. It has a flowing, yet energetic sound. And of course the great guitar and vocals. Heavenly.

  • AMAZING!
