The Biz

The Biz continues The Sea And Cake's exploration of gentle ensemble grooves. The album, the group's third in just over a year, bears direct sonic connections with the members' previous or concurrent projects. Guitarist and singer Sam Prekop previously led Shrimp Boat; keyboardist and guitarist Archer Prewitt was a member of The Coctails; drummer and producer John McEntire was a member of both Gastr del Sol and Tortoise. The songs speak for an exuberant sense of self-discovery, the band's grooves rolling out on their own momentum like the meanderings of a lazy river.
