[4/5] The album cover for Everybody, the thrilling new offering by indie supergroup the Sea And Cake, shows jagged and asymmetrical tiles forming smooth flooring. And like those tiles, the intersecting guitars of Sam Prekop and Archer Prewitt, paired with the narcotic dream of a rhythm section in bassist Eric Claridge and drummer John McEntire-united now for over a decade-interlock just as smoothly. This machine-tooled precision stitches each member so tightly together that the seams never show, leaving only their signature warm glide of elemental recombinant pop. "Exact To Me" and "Lightning" flash a prog pulse just behind the sonic satin curtain, but it's also their most "rock" album to date, with opener "Up On Crutches" goosed by a post-rock double axe attack. Everybody has something for, well, everybody. (THRILL JOCKEY) Erick Haight
