Buglite - Those Days - VINYL LP

Sam Prekop's work over the last 30 years, whether created primarily on his guitar or on his modular synth, is consistent in it's powerful melodicism, delicate arrangements and subtle evolution. Prekop's singular blend of melody, impressionistic lyricism and quietly intricate rhythms are the core of the singular sound of The Sea and Cake. Since 2010's Old Punch Card, Prekop's exploration of modular synthesis and electronic atmospheres, has come into it's own. Highly skilled at manipulating the sonic interplay, Prekop has established a sytle all his own, his pieces are complex expressing real movement. Harmonies bloom with granular detail and contrary to their machine sources are able to convey emotion. Open Close is an album that captures the flow and energy of a live performance through the lens of a deft craftsman, an equilibrium of intuitive composition and the excitement of possibility.The music of Sam Prekop is defined by his signature curiosity and his ability to mold and refine that curiosity into a wholly unique sound. His process in naming album Open Close mirrors his creative practice and the worlds he builds across the album InchI like simple words that become complicated if you think of them more than a second or two, beyond face value. And Open Close could be close as in 'close to you' or close as in 'close the door.' If it gives everything away too quickly, then I'm not interested.Inch Each movement across Open Close is replete with simple gestures that suggest new complexities with Prekop's careful arrangements. Open Close unearths new, soulfully human sounds from synthetic textures precisely juxtaposed, it's subtle contrasts in texture and rhythm are a free-flowing celebration of sonics as stunning as they are ephemeral.

Pearl Django's 15th contains 11 wonderful and beautifully arranged, band originals. These are still in the style established by Pearl Django. That is to say, stretching the style known as InchHot ClubInch. Here you will find combination of swing tunes, waltz's, a ballad and a Latin tune with contributions from all band members. This version of Pearl Django is, possibly, the strongest ever, with two exceptional players, Tim Lerch on guitar and David Lange on accordion and our newest member Jim Char who plays rhythm as well as anyone in the business.
