It's all about density!, Feb 19 2011

If anything buy this album just for the song density. It is probably my favorite prekop song of all. Just a beautiful song....especially the 2nd half instrumental. I can listen to it 10 times over. The first song and last 4 songs of the album are all spectacular...pick it up.

A Blanket of Red Wine, April 11 2005

I've always found solo projects both interesting and rewarding after first hearing the subject's group offerings. Pointedly, they allow a glimpse into the construction of the larger vehicle.
In considering Sam Prekop one can discern the richly sown rhythms he offers his fellow band mates of the Sea and Cake (with Archer Prewitt weaving intricate pop melodies as John McEntire percussively brings them both together).
With Who's Your New Professor, he continues to prove his worth as a master craftsman, offering eleven tracks of material steeped in exotic, soothing tones. Both a visual and audio artist, Prekop's work here shows definitive maturity and timeliness.
With the first few bars of track one, Something, the listener is exposed to Prekop's signature vocal melodies and near Bossanova rhythms. From there, the album progresses naturally and seamlessly. Though equally as masterful as his previous solo work, Who's Your New Professor seems both tighter in construction and slightly more exploratory.
All in all, a beautiful addition to a Sunday drive, a relaxing evening at home, or a fine bottle of red wine.
