For more than 25 years, as a solo artist or as part of The Sea and Cake, Prekop creates a singular sound that is both inventive and warm. New album ‘Comma’ takes Pekop’s electronic music experiments in a surprising new direction. Working extensively with beat programming for the first time, Prekop uses rhythm as a narrative tool, tapping into electronic music’s romantic and emotional qualities. ‘Comma’ embraces the analogue synthesizer’s often unpredictable nature, imbuing the record with a decidedly organic feel even while working within the relative rigidity of beat architectures. Prekop’s creative process is a combination of preparation and improvisation.Writing sessions for ‘Comma’ began with an open-ended exploration of sounds and textures from which the first fragments of songs would reveal themselves. The introduction of drum machines and additional synthesizer units to his modular setup shifted things in surprising new directions as he worked to bend them into more traditional pop song structures. Drum tracks and emergent rhythms provided the frameworks and narrative sketches to be fleshed out with lustrous widescreen synth pads and ribboning melodies. In approaching his writing with a completely open mind and letting himself be guided by the music, Prekop maintains a delicate balance between composition and chance, control and spontaneity. Prekop’s wide-eyed sense of discovery guides his exploration of beat-driven music, pushing him to use rhythm as a narrative tool and to embrace electronic music’s romantic and emotional qualities. With ‘Comma’, Prekop compiles an incredible breadth of ideas into a surprisingly coherent soundworld. It’s a modern minimal pop album that taps into the experimental heritage of the synthesizer. The album places Sam Prekop’s work squarely in the tradition of electronic music pioneers like Brian Eno and Yellow Magic Orchestra, who brought together the unrestrained ambition of the avantgarde with the immediacy and accessibility of pop music. Available on CD, white vinyl and black vinyl. “More than 20 years into his career, the man is still keeping it interesting.” – NPR “… glistening weightless drift that might soundtrack your daily commute through some futuristic urban utopia.” – Stereogum Artist Sam Prekop Genre Rock And Pop Label Thrill Jockey Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Includes Download Code , 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Park Line Summer Places Comma September Remember The New Last Approaching Circle Line Never Met Wax Wing Above Our Heads Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Sam Prekop and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Sam Prekop The Republic Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 23rd February 2015 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sam Prekop The Republic £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL384LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 23rd February 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View David Bowie At The Kit Kat Klub (Live New York 99) Rock And Pop | Parlophone | 2LP Released 21st April 2023 £30.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Bowie At The Kit Kat Klub (Live New York 99) £30.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Parlophone SKU: 0190295178024 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 21st April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grumbling Fur Furfour Rock And Pop | Thrill Jockey | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th September 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grumbling Fur Furfour £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Thrill Jockey SKU: THRILL412LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Foreign Tongues Fragile, As Said Before Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | No Sleep Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th March 2024 £12.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Foreign Tongues Fragile, As Said Before £12.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: No Sleep Records SKU: nn283434 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Blood Red Shoes Get Tragic Rock And Pop | Jazz Life | 1LP Released 25th January 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blood Red Shoes Get Tragic £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jazz Life SKU: JAZZLIFE16LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Maps Vicissitude Rock And Pop | Mute | 180g, 2LP, Includes CD Released 8th July 2013 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Maps Vicissitude £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Mute SKU: STUMM354 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes CD Released Date: 8th July 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View William The Conqueror Proud Disturber of the Peace Rock And Pop | Chrysalis | 1LP Released 14th October 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders William The Conqueror Proud Disturber of the Peace £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Chrysalis SKU: BRV18 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pom Poko Birthday Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 22nd February 2019 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pom Poko Birthday £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA846V Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd February 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View TTRRUUCES TTRRUUCES Rock And Pop | Allpoints | 1LP Released 26th June 2020 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders TTRRUUCES TTRRUUCES £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Allpoints SKU: AP078LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th June 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Abba The Visitors (Half Speed Master) Rock And Pop | UMR / Polydor | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Half Speed Mastered Released 1st December 2023 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abba The Visitors (Half Speed Master) £39.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMR / Polydor SKU: 4527110 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Half Speed Mastered Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nick Lowe Dig My Mood (Remastered) Rock And Pop | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 8th April 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nick Lowe Dig My Mood (Remastered) £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2635R Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
