After releasing three albums in just over a year, The Sea And Cake ended a two-year hiatus with THE FAWN. The group's fourth album marks a significant change in The Sea And Cake's approach. The basic song structures, with their subtle modulations and graceful melodies, remain. But the arrangements favor layers of atmospheric keyboard and greater rhythmic tension. The change is apparent on the opening "Sporting Life" and throughout the entire album. "The Argument" is the creation of a band that has grown and developed in the best possible ways. The Sea And Cake's new sensibility doesn't feel forced. Rather, it represents a completely natural progression. Anyone familiar with the group's earlier albums will find THE FAWN to be a bold delight. Those new to this Chicago-based ensemble's music should start here.
The Sea And Cake includes: John McEntire.
Entertainment Weekly (4/4/97, p.85) - "...adds subtle electronics and drum machines to their previous albums' richly textured mix of jazzy guitar, smooth electric piano, and ambling drums. Full of airy, spacious grooves, THE FAWN is as graceful as its namesake." - Rating: A-
Q (5/97, p.128) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...this is 40 minutes of bewitching analogue alchemy...about as catchy as pop songs without choruses are ever likely to get."
Musician (7/97, p.90) - "...takes the mature, jazzy progbop of those first three discs on a trip into the silicon valley of MIDI sequencing, computers, and electronic rhythms. The approach yields immediate dividends in the groove department..." Sea & Cake Fawn Songs | 1. | Sporting Life |

Fawn music CDs
$13.15  
The fifth album by the jazz-tinged art-pop quartet is every bit as hypnotically fascinating as their previous work. John McEntire's percussion, vibes and marimba drive the songs, colored by judicious reeds and strings. Sam Prekop's breathy voice is mixed low, and he sings the evocative but seemingly meaningless lyrics with such a complete lack of affect that they become simply another musical timbre.
The 10 songs blend into each other, in an appealing and colorful way. More careful ...
| | Yo La Tengo I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One CD (1997)
Fawn songs
$9.89 
Yo La Tengo began life as one among hundreds of Velvet Underground-inspired bands, banging out dark, skittish tunes that displayed YLT guitarist/vocalist Ira Kaplan's affection for Uncle Lou as well as Yo La Tengo's commitment to creating a gently subversive groove. Over the years, the band, which also features Kaplan's wife Georgia Hubley on drums and vocals, has gone through more identity changes than David Bowie, from acoustic folk-rock to wailing, Sonic Youth-like guitarchitecture.
On this album, the band consolidates their sound as they expand it, incorporating bossa nova, electronica and '60s pop into a gorgeous shimmering whole that is something more than the sum of its parts. The laconic-but-expressive vocals of Kaplan ...

Fawn album
$13.65
Essentially, this double-disc set is the soundtrack to the DVD of the same name. Sonically, it is sublime; the subtleties of a live performance are all left in. The interplay between guitarists Fred Tackett and Paul Barrére is exceptional, as are the drop-dead-on-a-dime fills of keyboardist Bill Payne. The track selection leans a little more to the classic side of Little Feat's vast catalog, with many tracks from the 1970s in the set, including "Time Loves a Hero," "Skin It Back," "Old Folks Boogie," "Oh Atlanta," "Spanish Moon," "Dixie Chicken," "Tripe Face Boogie," "Fat Man in the Bathtub," "Willin'," and "Feats Don't Fail Me Now." The latter material ...

| | Passion Fierce Urgency Of Now CD (2006)
Fawn songs
$12.95
Pretty much anytime a hardcore band chooses to go with two guitarists instead of one, there's a good chance that the rather limited and hamstrung purist's definition of the genre is about to be transcended. This is very much the case for Philadelphia's Passion, whose metal-tinged 2006 debut, The Fierce Urgency of Now, is undoubtedly rooted in the hardcore aesthetic and spirit, but simultaneously rejects those restrictions of simplicity that keep so many hardcore bands predictable, stagnant, and forgettable. Rather, the group's instantly compelling assault begins with the provocatively plain-spoken, unflinchingly caustic nature of their lyrics, which tackle difficult subjects ranging from child abuse ("One Way Ticket"), to totalitarian government tactics ("In Ourselves We Trust"), to irresponsible media organizations and their shameless tactic of fomenting hysteria for better ratings ("Patriot for a Day"). In short, listeners looking for vague or oblique wordplay better look elsewhere, and mercilessly cynical metal heads should beware that the band does occasionally suffer from certain emo-like compulsions. On the intolerably ...
| | Chris Letcher Frieze CD (2007) (Import) United Kingdom
Fawn album
$15.65
On "Deep Frieze," Frieze's opening track, Chris Letcher evokes Baltic sea wolves, Jason and the Argonauts, an emperor and a god, a mullet fin dish, and a parachute escape, a rather elaborate lyrical ruse to invoke a cascade of shifting emotions. Or at least that seems to be his theme. Letcher, the singer/songwriter and his eponymous band, have created an album underpinned by poetry and swaddled in atmospheric music. The latter, while oft times haunting and emotive, is merely a backdrop for Letcher's wonderful wordcraft. The South African may have flown the coop from one of his homeland's most popular rock bands, but he's since matured into one of the most sophisticated, intelligent writers around. In fact, even "singer/songwriter" doesn't do justice to his full-blown verse, with its multi-shaded nuances, carefully considered wording, and intellectually challenging themes. They're meant to be pondered, mulled over, and dissected, with their meanings sometimes obscured, to let one draw one's own conclusions. Some, like "Robotic Soldiers," are short and sharp, others like "Good Shepherd" wind their way around a theme strewing vivid ...
