The Edges of Twilight (1995) is the third album by The Tea Party. The album features many instruments from around the world, giving various songs a strong world music flavour in addition to the rock/blues influences evident in the band's earlier releases. The Edges of Twilight helped propel the band into mainstream success in their native Canada, where it reached double platinum status and earned the band several Juno nominations, including "Best Rock Album" and "Group of the Year".
The title of the album is taken from a chapter of the book Fire in the Head, by American author Tom Cowan, which also inspired the name of the first track on the album.
The album also includes a hidden song which features a spoken word performance by folk legend Roy Harper, who is a friend of the band.
Featured on the cover is a statue by William Wetmore Story called Angel of Grief.
