Local gents The Sea and Cake have always been consistent in their efforts. Since their inception back in 1993, they have never changed record labels, never gone long without releasing new material and never needed to change or stray too far from their signature sound. When you hear a Sea and Cake track, you know it. Elements of jazz and indie intertwine into a chilled, cerebral flow of melodic guitar and snappy keys that perfectly supports the whispering vocals of Sam Prekop. Just as you were wondering where the band had gone, there is an announcement of a six song album(?) entitled The Moonlight Butterfly that will be out May 10 on Thrill Jockey. "Up On The North Shore" is the first taste and you can give it a listen below. The upbeat, airy feel on this track holds no surprises again but definitely simulates that breezy lakeside cruise along LSD. Grab the track for free by clicking on the arrow on the widget below.
