Tea Eater’s latest LP, I Don’t Believe in Bad Luck, is the story of a hotline psychic who’s sick of everyone—including herself. In this sophomore release, the Brooklyn-based DIY band expands their obsessions to include waffles, bugs, and butter. Through tracks like "People Pleaser" and "You Again," I Don’t Believe in Bad Luck explores what it means to be the villain in someone else’s story—whether by accident or design.

The record delves into the shadow side of self-reflection, confronting characters like John Lemon and the Bee Girls before crossing the art punk abyss and returning back to their true inner self. With fuzzy hooks and a sense of humor, Tea Eater recontextualizes messy experiences, showing how even the most chaotic holes we fall into can lead to the best possible outcomes.

I Don’t Believe in Bad Luck was recorded at La Fam Studios in Bushwick, Brooklyn, with Tarra Thiessen on vocals and guitar, Lindsey Ann Lawless on bass and vocals, Vram Kherlopian on guitar and synth, and Abdon Valdez III on drums. The album was produced and mixed by Vanessa Silberman and Jasno Swarez and mastered by Vram Kherlopian. Album art photo by Viviane Black.

In addition to the vinyl release, a limited-edition tarot deck, inspired by the album’s themes and Tea Eater’s symbol sets, will be available. The deck, which features reimagined versions of traditional tarot suits such as waffles for pentacles and bugs for swords, allows for further exploration into the album's surreal, introspective journey, and Thiessen’s own personal mythology. I Don’t Believe in Bad Luck will be released on March 28, 2025 by A Diamond a Heart Production, Amethyst Trax, and La Fam Recordings.
