Thrill Jockey

The Moonlight Butterfly has the core elements of the utterly unique Sea and Cake sound, while introducing a more experimental approach to the song’s textures and structures. The songs are more extended in form and cinematic in feel. The band’s singular guitar-based pop sound is ltered though pattern based ideas that slowly morph the linear into the modal. The album is lled with extended instrumental passages that bear the markers of Prekop’s recent solo explorations of analog synthesizers. The song Inn Keeping, for example, focuses on the synthesizer as the main armature of the song, a constant to play with and against.
