Soundtracks: The Sea and Cake Everybody

The Sea and Cake really live out their name: Their songs always sound like the ocean and fancy sugar. The Chicago foursome's new, seventh album Everybody has been stuck in my headphones lately and it's perfect spring-into-summer music, all jangly guitars and floaty pop melodies and Sam Prekop's hazy-sweet vocals. Classic Sea and Cake stuff, it's like a less precious Belle and Sebastian, brighter and bouncier and much less naptime-appropriate. (Download two of the best tracks, "Up on Crutches" and "Crossing Line," at The Rawking Refuses to Stop!.)

And as with any Sea and Cake record, Everybody makes me think in cerulean blues and seafoam greens. Here, some of the pretty, ocean-colored things I want to wear to their shows this weekend at The Troubadour in West Hollywood*: Made with Love by Hannah's Blue Tree Top skirt (sold out at CUT + PASTE but available at Hannah's website), House of Spy's Miss Pac Man smocked top (at Paper-Doll), Snoflake's Train A bubble skirt (Paper-Doll too), and Forever 21's ruffled knit top.





* They're playing Saturday and Sunday nights with The Zincs and Robbers on High Street. Tickets are $15 in advance; $18 day of.
