商品の説明
内容紹介
Their first reocrd in over two years finds them as innovative and vibrant as ever. Cutting guitar notes, melodic propulsive and rhytmic drumming, swirling synthesizers and distinct vocals that float in and out. While there are moments of transcendental bliss, the record reatins an overall pop element throughout. Includes the Bowie cover "Sound And Vision" with the Aluminum Group.
Amazonレビュー
サイドプロジェクトが忙しいために、この評判の高いシカゴ出身の「ポストロックのスーパーグループ」(シュリンプ・ボートやカクテルズやトータスの元メンバーによって結成された)は、ときどきバンドの活動をすっかり忘れてしまうようだ。本作は1997年以来のアルバムでようやく3作目となる。けれども間違いなく、バンド外での精力的な活動がシー・アンド・ケイクをインスパイアし、力強くときには気品さえ感じられる本作をレコーディングさせたのだ。ブラジリアン・ジャズやドイツ・ロックの芸術的なテイストなどの影響を魅力的に混ぜ合わせ、シンガーソングライターのサム・プレコップによるマイケル・フランクスほど希少ではないウィスパーボイスに乗って、全10曲の見事なナンバーは抑制され微妙に洗練されメロディーがはじけている。プレコップの飛びきりクールなボーカルは、たとえ夢見るような「Left Side Clouded」のジャジーでエレクトロニックなサウンドをバックにしても、緊迫したリズムの「Hotel Tell」でも、すがすがしく意欲的な「Shoulder Length」でも、音数を抑えた美しいタイトル曲でもバンドの核となっている。本作はけだるいジャズ・ポップをあえて解体し、メンバーのルーツであるアートロックから引き出したいつくもの音楽層を鮮やかに響かせながら、未来に向かって滑らかに突き進んでいる。(Jerry McCulley, Amazon.com)

The music itself was almost always a secondary consideration for me. In bands I wrote lyrics and so words held a kind of sway over me that most guitar driven music could not conjure. Then one day, while writing the equivalent of TPS reports, I heard something coming out of the speakers of my office computer. My fingers stalled on the keyboard and my brain wired itself into the music. It was a hokey sounding electric guitar with some sort of 70's phazer oozing up and out from behind. It was the kind of bipolar, haunting bliss I always wanted to write with a band. When the song was done I saw it was The Sea and Cake's "Four Corners" from their album One Bedroom. I instantly went to [...] and listened to the song again, found the name of the album and ordered it on Amazon.com.
One Bedroom is one of those albums I can no longer spoil with my work day. The album is not "new" (having come out in 2002), but even after finding "new" music that isn't daft radio pop, I listen to it because it still sounds fresh. I come home and put it on the stereo or put on my headphones and listen through it while doing creative writing or drawing.
Here are my track-by-track generalities:
Inevitably I am still obsessed with "Four Corners" and usually listen to it twice before continuing on with the rest of the album.
Moving through the fun, upbeat "Left Side Clouded" I realize that Prekop's sometimes atonal voice and half-spoken singing style is what sets this band apart from other indie acts like Broken Social Scene and consequently makes them better and more accessible.
"Hotel Tell" is the kind of funky song that needs to be played and mixed at a club.
For me, "Le Baron" is a weaker track, but the last two minutes holds me still.
"Shoulder Length" initially sounds like the band is doing a musical homage to Broken Social Scene (minus the sass of Feist), but once again Prekop's voice comes in and imbues the retro 80's sound with a humanity no one with more melody could pull off. The solo at the end of the song makes me laugh with its silly beauty.
The title track "One Bedroom" is a chill groove for weekend drive. It makes me feel like I am driving down a wooded lane at that point in the evening when everything is gold and I am watching the shadows pass over the windshield in rhythm. The sound of the ringing phone at the end of the song is like snapping out of a daydream to pick it up and drop it back on the cradle.
"Interiors" is another cool song with a faux Simon and Garfunkel "ooh" and "ah" thrown in for good measure. I tend to listen to the lyrics to this song more than the others, though most of the lyrics sound like the band was automatic writing or hooked up to a machine that allowed them to translate dream language into lyrics. The change at the three minute mark of this song to the end is the part that sticks in my head and while I can't understand exactly what Prekop and (presumably) Prewitt are singing (making it all the more haunting for me) I would rather have this playing again and again in my mind than any annoying radio jingle.
The musical transition from "Interiors" into "Mr. F" is nothing short of brilliant. And when Prekop starts in singing I want to do a ridiculous dance of joy. The echoed melody at the end of the song is gorgeous and fun and perfect.
"Try Nothing" is another song that makes me laugh with it's late 80's "Kokomo"-style. The lyrics and tone of Prekops singing are nothing short of post modern genius. "Why don't I remember it's a joke/And I'm sending, withholding even more," he sings and that sums up the whole album.
Admittedly, I wish the album ended this way, with the last echo of the electric guitar strum of "Try Nothing" fading into soundlessness and appreciative silence. But, I gave the album 4 stars instead of five for the tenth and final track "Sound & Vision" which is perhaps the albums weakest track. David Bowie wrote this one and indeed it sounds like a cover of an early 80's Bowie song better off left to the doldrums made up of Bowie's abandoned spikey hair styles and sparkly glam make-up. Not even Prekop can save this one. I've listened to it again and again trying to figure out what my problem is and why I can't swallow it, but it's the gross smelling burp that comes out at the end of an otherwise perfectly delicious dessert. Brief, but ruinous like drinking a shot of sea after eating cake.
