I doubt this will even make two pages of a thread, but when your in the mood Sea and Cake are absolutely fantastic...

sea and cake absolutely rule. sam prekop is a genius.
the albums can be quite different though.
personally i flutter between "the fawn" and "the sea and cake".
sporting life is such a good song.
 
don't know much about the band, but i love a nice dip now and then. oh and chocolate cake. yum.
 
yeah first record is amazing indie jazz pop tastic

last record, one bedroom is very very good too, but much more electronic and krautrock like...

I don't really think they have a bad album, each one has it's own distinct thing going on and sometimes yr in the mood and sometimes yr not...

Sam Prekop's first solo record is incredible too, for me itis up there with Jim O'Rourkes Eurek, as the culmination of the Post Rock (before it became a dirty word for instrumental math rock shite... explain that one to me...) Chicago scene, with Sam, Archer Prewitt, John McIntire, Rob Mazurk and Jim O'Rourke all featuring

boy did I ever love that whole Chicago thing...
 
how are they compared to, say, Rat Neurons in a Petri Dish?

nahhh...tried listening to them yrs ago, it just never took.

i used to love all that stuff two although it used to annoy me that rob mazurek (?) had to turn up on everyones album with his shitty irritating playing... im kinda over the chicago thing now. i automatically am suspicious of bands from chicago now.

i still love the fawn - its a great album. only others i have are nassau and oui and i never really liked either of them. sam prekops first one is pleasant. i listened to eureka last week - it sounds great and lush but at the end of the day it makes for an empty and unrewarding listening experience i think...
 
ts&c are good, no doubt, but they're no shrimp boat. first ts&c album is a logical extension of shrimp boat's cavale, but once ian schneller flew the nest to form falstaff thay were a different beast...

i've always had a soft spot for the biz (3rd album) and s/t (1st)

do yourself a favour tho and head over to aum fidelity to get the shrimp boat box - 98% unreleased (or part with megabux for their albums (duende, cavale) which are only available as expensive jap imports

as I read this I'm hearing the "free jazz" cornet solo to Seasons Reverse by Gastr Del Sol... heh heh heh... I didn't mind Rob to much, he did great stuff on the Isotope 217 records...

I'd say that about most O'Rourke stuff except Eureka, Insignificance really bored the shit out of me, but I thought Eureka was, for such an orchestrated record, really quite focused and works from start to finish really well... even the shit shitty sax solo break in the middle...
