    A high 8. Only because 'the biz' is a 10, and 'the fawn' a nine. (they should allow a 8.5) There is a strange perfection at work here. The music equivalent of a very smooth, mellow and sweet scotch-- you have no choice but to love it, as your belly is warmed. 'The Biz' blows your mind, this massages. Great stuff.

    Liquid guitar licks, bobbing bass lines, slow-tumbling vibes and lush strings float in and out of the mix, wrapping snugly around Sam Prekop's mellow croon. There's nothing life-changing here, but it's nice; and sometimes nice is enough. [#47, p.116]

    Quite possibly the finest of the group' s five albums to date.... A sophisticated pop pleasure from start to finish, Oui is the aural equivalent of a perpetual Indian summer.

    On Oui, the Sea and Cake continue to pursue their instrumental excursions as they evolve decisively into an art-drone groove band.
