Thrill Jockey is an American independent record label that was established in 1992 by Bettina Richards, a former A&R representative at Atlantic Records. Originally based in New York City, the label relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 1995.

Thrill Jockey's catalog includes a wide range of critically acclaimed albums from both established and emerging artists. From experimental rock to electronic music, jazz to folk, the label continues to push boundaries and support unique voices within the industry.

Repressed on vinyl. Half a year after its fine self-titled debut, the sea and cake released Nassau. The album is a bit more muscular - the drums (played by Tortoise's John Mcentire) - are actually pummeled this time out. But the overall effect is still one of gentle hypnotism. The Cantina roars along with background chorus vocals, explosive organ and drum parts, and compelling (but difficult to decipher) vocals. Soft and Sleep may be the band's finest moment yet. Beautifully chiming guitars delineate just a few chords, but the Sea and Cake builds on top of this with gorgeous harmonics, leader Sam Prekop's singing, and the subtle tensions of fully-interlocking ensemble playing. Nassau was self-recorded, but this is no dashed off lo-fi project. These musicians know what they're doing, what they want, and how to achieve it. This is a great example of a follow-up record bettering an already impressive first album.
