PAPER
"'Crawl Space' draws the focus in on Tei Shi's compelling and sultry vocals like never before”
Clash Magazine

Sunday Times

Stereogum
"Tei Shi's debut album is a place to hide, and eventually, feel strong again"
Hunger
"Tei Shi's vibrant music video for "Keep Running"... is a hypnotic visual expression of the dynamic track."
Billboard
"Prepare your roommates for the impromptu karaoke sessions you'll be having to this song all year long."
Cosmopolitan, 25 Albums to Obsess Over in 2017
"Tei Shi may have been a long time coming, but "Keep Running" feels like the debut of an artist properly establishing her musical identity with plenty of potential for success."
V Magazine
"A silky slip of R&B pop, a little Jesse Ware, a little Solange."
Noisey
"How Far,"... The track - which pairs gut-wrenching lyrics with dreamy guitars and buzzing production - explores the thin line between love and destruction. And it'll stick with you."
FADER
Crawl Space is the debut album from Tei Shi and documents her transformation from the cautious and curious new kid on the block to a confident, self-possessed artist. Written and recorded over a year and a half, the album traces a much wider arc, from Tei Shi’s earliest musical explorations to this, her first long player. Born Valerie Teicher, Tei Shi remembers composing songs as early as eight years old. The now New York based artist was born in Buenos Aires and growing up between (Bogota,) Colombia and (Vancouver,) Canada. Throughout every song, Tei Shi brings a remarkable clarity to the very act of vulnerability, to exposing oneself and inviting others in.
