Written in an old church in the Brecon Beacons, the tracks have been carefully arranged with Tee and her quartet over almost two years of rehearsal and live shows, committing them to recording in the Spring of 2023. The band (Kai Chareunsy, Dan Cippico and Piera Onacko) all contribute their voices to the hallucinatory collage which is ‘Night Creature’.

Each arrangement transports the listener to a forest of lush textures before revealing Tee’s trademark imagist lyrics. Grounded in her folk music background, ‘Night Creature’ populates its sound worlds with fantastical characters. “In Polish folklore, a female house spirit is known as a Kikimora,” Tee explains. “Often visualised as a moth, she can either be a ‘cruel’ or a ‘kind’ spirit. Depending on the home she dwells in, the Kikimora can be a caring protector or a bringer of havoc.” 

Produced by Town Studios and mastered by Weird Jungle collective, the recordings emboss textures that suggest a sense of place; with the title single ‘Night Creature’ and its music video forming a love letter to the emerging NightGarden festival Tee co-produces in Manchester’s hinterland. Dive deep into the songs and they conjure images of secret gatherings with otherworldly revellers and neon bouncing off glossy leaves. Follow ‘Night Creature’ through the undergrowth, and see what you find.

This limited edition mini-album is pressed with an 'eco-mix' vinyl that uses up leftover coloured pellets from previous vinyl runs, mixes them together and produces a run of randomised ‘lucky-dip’ colour vinyl. This cuts down on waste and can also result in some impressive colours. Every single record has its own individual colour and effect.

Features collage artwork by Sleep Sparrow printed on textured, uncoated sleeves and contains a printed insert with lyrics and sleevenotes.
