London experimental-pop duo Worldpeace DMT have released their second album Stick Around for Tea, advancing a playfully off-kilter aesthetic that critics have christened 'laptop twee'. Comprising Leo Fincham and Rowan Miles, the duo follow their 2025 debut The Velvet Underground & Rowan and the Flowers Powers mixtape.
The album weaves childhood nostalgia, oddball character sketches, and warm bedroom-electronic textures into infectious alternative-pop melodies on songs like "Munich Gyaru" and the sunny title track.
Rather than pursuing fashionable cynicism, Fincham and Miles embrace unapologetic whimsy, proving that musical sophistication and deliberate silliness can produce captivating art.
Stick Around for Tea offers an idiosyncratic, joyfully inventive alternative to standardized streaming formulas. Discover more indie-pop highlights in our indie-pop section.
