Our Overview.
The Sea and Cake are a band who need very little introduction. In their extensive 25 year career the band have bridged the gap between Brazilian music of the late 1960s, African influenced guitar lines and independent pop. A sound that is entirely distinct, centred around the delicate guitar interplay of Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt, driven by the versatile rhythms of bassist Eric Claridge and drummer John McEntire and finally set apart by Prekop’s vocals and obtuse lyrics.
The Sea and Cake’s fourth album ‘The Fawn’ is back on vinyl, packaged in a tip-on gatefold jacket with a free download card. The band recorded ‘The Fawn’ after spending most of 1996 on the road with tours of the US, Europe and Japan. The band broadened their range of texture and sound (strings, percussion and synthesized sounds) and spent more time in the studio than ever before. Refining and redefining the songs to make it their most diverse and accomplished record to date.
Also reissued are the stunning ‘Oui’ and ‘One Bedroom’
