  "account": "Worldpeace DMT, a London-based musical duo, has released their second album, Stick Around For Tea. Contrary to initial assumptions, the band's sound is not steeped in the laptop twee genre. Instead, their new album draws inspiration from Belle & Sebastian, evoking a sense of playfulness and nostalgia. The album opens with a song titled \"School is out,\" which features acoustic strums and childlike singsong vocals. The lyrics reflect on the struggles of exams and the desire to break free from academic pressures. As the album progresses, it transitions into a more live band-oriented sound, incorporating string quartets and synths. Tracks like \"Love You Too\" pay homage to digital trickery while still maintaining a connection to the band's indie-pop roots. The album also features a song about rockstar dreams, \"Stratocaster,\" and a chipper track about spiritual searching, \"Ringtone.\" Overall, Stick Around For Tea is a rich and diverse musical experience that blends various genres and influences.",
