IN THE GARAGE WITH A PEICE OF......
Rating:
...Cake.
Didn't see that one coming aye?
This is the first album from the pseudo stoner indie rock band cake. For any of you familiar with their biggest hit album Fashion Nugget it may be a little strange (I tend to believe that if you know of other albums other than Nugget, then you probably know this one already...)
Cake have a cult fan base, mainly of people that like what can be defined as light and quirky music. In most later outings the band has a lot of funky beats going down along with a brass section and keys and other weird types of rythyms. I've always dug them.
Their first album is real lo-fi, and it sounds mainly like it could have been recorded in a garage, but the trademark brass is still there, along with a lot of catchy tunes, that I actually find more enjoyable than their '95 chart crasher. The lyrics are funny at times and sometimes just out to lunch but that kind of thing is usually ok in my book.
You've got your grand piano. You don't don't even play piano. I'm the one that plays piano. But you part the water.
Really opens your mind up, huh?
Anyway, quirky music, thats pretty darned good. If you like a stripped down kind of sound, you'll dig it. If you like it I also recommend another underated album of theirs Prolonging The Magic from '97. Liked that one better than Fashion Nugget too.

Oldest Gem of Cake

This is definitely a different sound than the more popular modern Cake music, however, this lo-fi album is certainly going to catch your heart with simple yet satirical lyrics, that for which Cake is known for. Extremely folky, extremely influenced, but nonetheless, a great addition to your Cake collection. If you love Cake's more popular tunes, you're probably not going to get into this as much, but if you want to know more about the roots to Bassline-heavy folk rock that is Cake, get this album, for sure. My personal favorite is I Bombed Korea. Simple lyrics, simple tune, heart-catching ditty.
