If I Could See Dallas is the first album by the indie rock band Japancakes, released in 1999. [4]
AllMusic wrote that "for all of the record's cosmic glow, the recurring presence of steel guitar keeps the music rooted in terra firma, a paradox which makes the music that much more difficult to pinpoint in any single time or place." [2] Exclaim! thought that "people inclined to easy classifications will call this post-rock, but unlike the cold air of academia that enshrouds the likes of Tortoise, Japancakes’ music possesses the heart and warmth of the Georgia environs that birthed it." [5] Rolling Stone wrote that the album is "flecked with melodic nuance, subtle turns of phrase that enrich the music's lazy-river flow." [6]
