SONG DESCRIPTION:
Russian Tea is a song about keeping things tidy if you know what we mean. It may not translate to English very well but in Denmark we talk often about how your environment can define who you are, just as how your are will often define your environment. We wanted to do something that took this way of thinking and gave it a Slavic twist. We find there are some similarities there. Its as much an experiment as it is a piece of music. We hope you enjoy.
