The Tea Party pulled "Heaven Coming Down" from TRIPtych, their 1999 album, and it became the Canadian band's one and only number-one single at home, topping the RPM Rock Report. It's built on heavy drums and the chime of a 12-string Rickenbacker, with bass and keyboards filling in underneath, a big, bright rocker that rings more than it grinds.
Jeff Martin produced and recorded it and mixed it with Nick Blagona, the whole band shares the writing credit, and EMI put it out. Canada only got it as a promo single, while Australia and France got a proper commercial release, and it was nominated for Best Single at the 2000 Juno Awards.
