Weekend

The D Man needs a few more weekends like this. The Sea and Cake, a now long-running collective of brainy Chicago musicians, are set to release their eighth full-length, Car Alarm. The band's musical precision is as gorgeous as ever, and Sam Prekop's singular voice continues to be the warmest pop blanket. As one critic noted, his words seem chosen for their musical qualities first. And although there's never too much at stake in a Sea and Cake song (as its should be), the contemplative nature of the music still manages to seep through the group's impeccable production.
