Sam Prekop Biography
Sam Prekop’s music is a study in pop nuances.
Simultaneously transporting the listener from mild climes and swinging palms to darkened skies and wind blown steppes, the records will be easily recognized by fans of The Sea and Cake[he is the frontman after all]. Known to many as the singer and main songwriter for said group, Mr. Prekop is assisted on his releases by Chad Taylor (Chicago Underground Duo), Josh Abrams (ex-Roots, Town and Country), Jim O’Rourke (Gastr del Sol) and Archer Prewitt (The Sea and Cake).
Those expecting to find more of the computer beats and trickery found on later Sea and Cake releases are in for a surprise. Whilst prevalent on "Faces and People" (a lucious groove overlayed by cornet and guitar), the computer takes a back seat to real strings, drums, piano, electric piano and organ as well as electric and acoustic bass.
The subtle grooves, a trademark of The Sea and Cake records, are still present here as Sam and his band blend West African rhythms with a bit of soul, jazz and pop.
The resulting records are something wholly original, elegant and earthy. A cauldron, if you will, of sweet smelling and enlightening stew. So line up, grab a spoon, and dig in. All the ingredients and intoxicating aromas necessary for an auditory feast are contained within.
