Very nice disc from a historic band, revived thanks to @ALFAMA.

The Sea and Cake - Nassau (Thrill Jockey Records, January 22, 1995)
Next May, The Sea and Cake, the band led by vocalist and guitarist Sam Prekop and fundamental musician and producer John McEntire, will release their eleventh studio album. The record will renew the now-historical collaboration with Thrill Jockey Records, which has been at the heart of the alternative scene in Chicago since the mid-nineties. "Nassau" is the band's second LP, recorded at Idful Music in Chicago and produced by McEntire himself. To say that it is a practically perfect pop record is not an exaggeration in this case. The album fits perfectly into the alternative rock context of the nineties, reviving the "rebellious" sound of groups like Pavement and Yo La Tengo filtered through the typical sounds of Slint or Tortoise, along with certain jazz influences that stylistically make the band's sound particularly elegant and peculiar, a true hallmark that has continued to evolve and remain recognizable over the years.
