Synopsis

Album Description

A tasty surprise for those who think they know this band. Glass contains two versions of 'The Author' (that's version 1 & 2), each taking on an entirely new personality. Two more songs follow, one experimental ('Traditional Wax Coin'), one a euphoric crispy pop delight ('An Echo In'). The next three tracks are songs from the 2003 One Bedroom reinterpreted by Stereolab ('Tea & Cake'), Broadcast ('Interiors'), & Carl Craig ('Hotel Tell'). The CD is also enhanced with an animated video by noted illustrator Richard McGuire (Liquid Liquid, The New Yorker) for the David Bowie cover, 'Sound & Vision'. Thrill Jockey. 2003.

Shimmering offering

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Sea And Cake are one of the bands that deserve a lot more attention than they have. In "Glass," fans can not only hear the Sea and Cake's own music, but their songs done by other fantastic indie-rock bands. Stereolab and Broadcast, two bands I love, shine in particular."Glass" opens with two versions of the shifting rock song "To The Author," and then to the slow-moving experimental "Traditional Wax Coin" and upbeat "An Echo In." The last half of "Glass" is even more unusual: Covers of their songs done by other bands or singers. Included is a solid cover of "Tea and Cake" by Stereolab, a mesmerizing "Interior" cover by Broadcast, and a rather lackluster "Hotel Tell" cover by Carl Craig.Experimental and sparking with life, the four songs by Sea and Cake on this album. And the covers are also a treat, since the musical styles of Broadcast and Stereolab are easily adapted to Sea and Cake. They're recognizable as being something different, but at the same time not too alien from the original work. Craig's cover, however, is a little more awkward, but still okay.Fans of the Sea and Cake will enjoy "Glass," but fans of Stereolab, Broadcast and Craig may want it as well, so they can check out Sea and Cake's songs through another filter. Well worth it."
