Product Description
CD Description
Sam Prekop's sophomore solo album coasts sweetly along through the expected layers of treated guitar harmonics, snappy drums, and crisp production, all enhancing the sunny Sunday-mellow groove. The difference from its precursor comes with close listening, wherein one can discern the many elaborate touches of producer John McEntire (Tortoise). The bossa novaelements of Prekop's self-titled debut are gone, replaced by free-floating lyrics--sung in the Sea & Cake leader's soothing half-falsetto--and the sound of math-rock solving itself and arriving back at simple square one.
Most tracks merge into one another along a stream of consciousness, punctuated by oases of jazz piano and trumpet ("Neighbor to Neighbor"), electronic warbling ("Something"), and Curtis Mayfield-esque wah-wah guitar ("Density"). These songs, however, are more than just a series of pleasant, dreamy tracks; they function as a book of deeply abstract poems, the post-rock meaning of which may never be discerned. By the time "C + F" comes long, with its propulsive handclap rhythm and midway hornbreak, it should be apparent how hard Prekop works to make his painstakingly crafted compositions sound beautiful and breezy
