The Sea and Cake is the debut studio album by American indie rock band the Sea and Cake. It was released on October 20, 1994 by Thrill Jockey.
A Chicago Tribune reviewer wrote "The quartet has all the sleepy, idiosyncratic charm of PrekopâÂÂs former band, and the album [...] is recorded with a dry, close-up quality that highlights the comboâÂÂs jazz shadings". Writing for Guitar World, Jim Testa noted the group's "impeccable indie-rock credentials" and reviewed the album as "more like an afterthought than a fully realized project".
