The Sea And Cake: Sam Prekop (vocals, guitar); Archer Prewitt (guitar, keyboards); John McEntire (keyboards, vibraphone, marimba, drums, percussion); Eric Claridge (bass).
Additional personnel: Susan Voelz (violin); Alison Chesley (cello); Paul Mertens (flute, alto flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano & tenor saxophones); Jeb Bishop (trombone).
Recorded at Soma Electronic Studio, Chicago, Illinois.
The fifth album by the jazz-tinged art-pop quartet is every bit as hypnotically fascinating as their previous work. John McEntire's percussion, vibes and marimba drive the songs, colored by judicious reeds and strings. Sam Prekop's breathy voice is mixed low, and he sings the evocative but seemingly meaningless lyrics with such a complete lack of affect that they become simply another musical timbre.
The 10 songs blend into each other, in an appealing and colorful way. More careful listening reveals how cleverly Archer Prewitt and John McEntire's keyboards shape the melodies into songs both immediately accessible and inventively complex. OUI is a low-key wonder.
