Two Gentlemen (12" EP, mainly remixes, 1997). Window Lights" (b/w "Setup For Bed" (a solo piece by John McEntire), 7" single, 1999, Hefty Records, also on Reach the Rock soundtrack, 1999).

The Sea and Cake bridge the gap between Brazilian music of the late 1960's, African influenced guitar lines, and independent pop. A sound that is entirely distinct, centered around the delicate guitar interplay of Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt, driven by the versatile rhythms of bassist Eric Claridge and drummer John McEntire, and finally set apart by Prekop's vocals and obtuse lyrics. Contact The Sea and Cake.

The Sea and Cake were born middle-aged, their respective musical puberties farmed out among a handful of preceding bands. The self-titled debut always sounded seasoned and precise. Its various musical styles are fused with such mastery and deliberation that one would never have believed that the band was intended as a one-off project. The album was lovely but somehow artificial. The abysmal Jim O'Rourke-molested remix EP follow-up, Two Gentlemen set new standards for warmed-over ambient pablum, virtually anticipating the entire Casino Versus Japan discography and receding limply into obscurity and dim regret. When was the last time you heard someone mention "The Cheech Wizard Meets Baby Ultraman in the Cool Blue Cave?"
