Album Notes
The Sea & Cake: Sam Prekop (vocals, guitar, keyboard); Archer Prewitt (guitar, keyboard, steel drum); John McEntire (recorder, keyboard, drum, steel drum, percussion); Eric Claridge (bass instrument).
Audio Mixer: John McEntire.
Issued in late 2008, CAR ALARM marks the Sea & Cake's second studio album since its '07 reactivation, and stands as one of the Chicago post-rock act's most immediately engaging outings. Fronted, as always, by singer/guitarist Sam Prekop, the quartet launches into a Neu!-like motorik sound with the driving "Aerial," and later moves into Velvet Underground territory on the chiming and urbane "On a Letter." Though some fans may miss the Sea & Cake's earlier experimental-leaning era, CAR ALARM proves that the group is undeniably vital and still carrying the mantle of Windy City indie-rock royalty without burden.

Editorial Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- Post-rock inflections, electronic embellishments, artfully designed arrangements and time changes, and the sighing vocals and breathy phrasing of guitarist/vocalist Sam Prekop. True to form, the band deliver yet again on CAR ALARM.
Alternative Press

3 stars out of 5 -- CAR ALARM picks right up on the coiled grooves of its predecessor with heated opener 'Aerial' and 'Fuller Moon,' which brings a taut bounce into play.
Clash

A technically accomplished bunch of breezy West Coast pop songs perfect to listen to when the sun is setting.
Clash

3 stars out of 5 -- The hot licks and cool groove of 'New Schools' are the whole record in microcosm, each play revealing subtle shades and a pleasure in the details.
Mojo

The set is dominated by neat three and a half minute packages of semi-supercharged guitar pop.
The Wire

3.5 stars out of 5 -- Pristine set-opener 'Aerial' and the elegantly gliding 'on a Letter' jangle and chime with mathematical precision...
Spin

[T]hey sound as tight as they ever have, as if after 14 years of playing together the band has developed a kind of musical mind-meld.
