Pitchfork

Seafarer/cake-maker Sam Prekop will get his Ansel Adams on with the publication of his first book of photography (which Sam initially discussed with us way back in January). Made up of Prekop's black and white pictures of Chicago cityscapes and experiments with geometrical patterns (sound famliar?), the book, very simply titled Photographs, comes packaged with a CD of original Prekop instrumental music inspired by the book's contents.

PRESSPOP will publish Photographs on November 27, but there will be a pre-release at the New York Art Book Fair, which takes place September 28-30. On September 29, Prekop will visit the fair to sign early copies of the book.

As you likely know, the Sea and Cake just kicked off a tour, and they have added a string of European dates since our last report.
