The Fawn (album)

The Fawn is the fourth album by the Sea and Cake.

Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that "everything the Sea and Cake touches turns to sweet, surprising, deadpan pop magic." The Washington Post called the songs "relatively pithy," writing that the band "doesn't try to overwhelm, but it underwhelms quite agreeably." CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "fans of the earlier records will find The Fawn surprisingly dense-sounding, with its base layer of drum and keyboard filling the rests where silence used to be."
