"Seven Circles" (2004) is The Tea Party's seventh album, and the last prior to the band breaking up in 2005. The album continues the style of the band's two previous offerings ("The Interzone Mantras" in 2001 and "Triptych" in 1999) by combining world music influences with rock instrumentation and electronic studio techniques. The album is also one of the band's most positive sounding records, forsaking the dystopian imagery and moody lyrics of past albums, and including several ballads that border on love-song territory. This change in focus has led to both praise and criticism from fans.Fact|date=May 2007

The album is dedicated to the memory of Steve Hoffman, the late manager of The Tea Party, who died of lung cancer in October 2003. Track 4, "Oceans" was written in his honour, with a promotional single released in May 2005 The Tea Party hoped to bring more attention to the Steven Hoffman Fund.Oceans Video [http://www.stevenhoffmanfund.org/oceans.cfm Steve Hoffman.org : for Lung Cancer Research] Accessed 4 May 2007]

"Seven Circles" marks the first time that Jeff Martin has duetted with another artist; "Wishing you would Stay" features fellow Canadian vocalist Holly McNarland, as a counterpoint to Martin's baritone.

The album peaked at number 5 on Billboard's Top Canadian Album chart, reaching gold status in Canada. "Seven Circles" also received a nomination for "Rock Album of the Year" at the 2005 Juno Awards.
