Drawing the Target Around the Arrow is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter and producer Caroline Polachek, her only one under the name CEP.
[4] Drawing the Target Around the Arrow differs from Polachek's earlier work in that it consists solely of minimal instrumental tracks.
Polachek crafted the album using raw sine waves, as she had been growing bored of how "genre-specific" music had become and wanted to strip it down to its basic parts.
The album's title comes from 18th century Jewish Lithuanian preacher Dubno maggid, in explaining how he comes up with his fables.
"[4] Thea Ballard of Pitchfork called the composition "generally unobtrusive, and the individual tracks often run together" and that "perhaps the most satisfying aspect of this release is its definitively non-linguistic form of expression".
