Smoke & Tea

Smoke & Tea started as a conversation. Bernard (B_X_R_N_X_R_D/Outputmessage) asked Patrick (Blinkhorn) what his favorite album of 2017 was. Patrick said that he resonated most with Brian Eno’s Reflection, which happened to be one of Bernard’s favorite albums of the year as well.

This mutual admiration for Brian Eno led the duo to start recording music on Sunday afternoons over tea in Bernard’s attic. Besides the four albums they have releases so far, Smoke & Tea's live performance setup consists of Patrick looping sounds from Moog synthesizers alongside Bernard, who sings above a variety of Roland instruments.
