You generally know what you’re going to get with any given Sea and Cake album, and with that comes a level of comfort that serves to mitigate the anxiousness brought about by the unpredictability of every day life occurrences.
Should I be worried that the Honey Nut Cheerios I’m eating for breakfast will suddenly mutate, enlarge, and hoop over my torso as a result of its newfound consciousness and desire to enact human enslavement? Possibly. But ought I to worry that any future Sea and Cake album won’t feature Sam Prekop’s relaxing vocals (and the calming melodies accompanying them) infiltrating my mind? Or that it’ll somehow veer off dramatically into some brand new genre coined by Chicago-based members themselves?? I should think not.
Consider the familiar sounds of The Sea and Cake’s brand new album Any Day (which is still scheduled for release in about a month’s time). The only real curve ball I can think of is that new albums from US-based bands are frequently accompanied by supporting tours of BOTH coasts and not just one of them…
Oh wait. Here’s comes a list of just-announced West Coast shows now, just below the prerequisite tour trailer.
See? What’d I tell you? Sweet, comfy PREDICTABILITY.
