Tokyo Tea Room return to YES following the release of their acclaimed debut album No Rush and recent 2026 single ‘Eyes Off You’.
The Margate-based four-piece have built a devoted following for their immersive blend of dream pop, indie soul and hazy psychedelia. Combining shimmering guitars, groove-led rhythms and wistful songwriting, the band create music that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Led by songwriter and vocalist Daniel James Elliott alongside Ben Marshall on bass, Sam Teather on drums and Beth Dunn on vocals, Tokyo Tea Room record from their hometown studio in Margate, crafting songs that explore longing, connection, memory and the passing of time.
Their debut album No Rush marked a major milestone for the band, with its 12 tracks showcasing a richer and more expansive sound while retaining the intimacy and warmth that first drew listeners to the project. The release was followed by the 2026 single Eyes Off You, a dreamy, melodic return that further cemented the band’s reputation for creating effortlessly transportive music.
Renowned for their atmospheric live shows, Tokyo Tea Room bring these songs to life through lush arrangements, hypnotic grooves and captivating visuals, creating an experience that invites audiences to lose themselves in the moment.
Returning to YES with new material and an ever-growing catalogue of fan favourites, Tokyo Tea Room continue to establish themselves as one of the UK’s most compelling dream pop acts.
