Description
Cake have always been defined by intense juxtaposition; they revel in it, Their music is a bag of competing forces, colliding classic rock, rap, country, jazz, rockabilly, and funk. Rather than taking all those elements and carving out a new genre, they treated them all as recycled scraps, and the result sounded wholly new and unique. John McCrea's half-sarcastic, half-sincere half-hearted vocals, along with Beck's "Loser," practically defined the spirit of the apathetic, overly intelligent, post-grunge 90s. Not a lot has changed with the recent release of their sixth album, Showroom of Compassion, their first in seven years. There's a little more piano and a few stabs at Beatle-esc pop, but they're just icing on the Cake. - Aaron Carnes sanjose.comMore Info
