The Sea and Cake is a well-oiled band. Their latest album, Car Alarm, is the band’s eighth full-length record. Much like great working bands such as the John Coltrane Quartet, the Meters or the Minutemen, there is no gap between the studio and the road for the band; the studio is just another stop, a gig, a continuous part of the flow of working and creating together. Historically, The Sea and Cake have stayed the course since forming in Chicago in 1993, but over the last couple of years they have pulled even tighter, recording hot and fast on the heels of a busy performance schedule without breaking for other projects, resulting in a sense of trust and communication that is key to a working band. Stop working together, and those connections go dormant, hibernate; keep on trucking, and they deepen and get sharper. Where in the past, The Sea and Cake has dispersed between records to allow each member their individual pursuits—Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt’s solo projects, drummer John McEntire’s production at his SOMA Studio and his work with Tortoise, bassist Eric Claridge’s alternate identity as a painter—but in this case they didn’t disband, but dove straight into Car Alarm. The result is a breezy, open, crisp sound that The Sea and Cake have spent 15 years crafting.
