The Sea and Cake is a pop/rock group with a jazzy edge, formed in the mid-90's in Chicago, Illinois. The group's name comes from a willful reinterpretation (in the wake of an accidental miscomprehension) of "The C in Cake", a song by Gastr del Sol. Groups related to The Sea and Cake include Tortoise, Shrimp Boat, the Coctails, and Gastr del Sol. Additionally, members Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt each have several solo albums.
The covers of The Sea and Cake's albums are largely from paintings by Eric Claridge and photographs by Sam Prekop. Starting with 1997's The Fawn, the group has relied more heavily on electronic sound sources such as drum machines and synthesizers, moving towards an arguably smoother, poppier sound.
