Fashion Nugget

CAKE

Dry irony. Punchy mariachi trumpets, funky minimalist basslines, and deadpan vocals create the ultimate soundtrack for skeptical road trips.

September 17, 1996 · Upbeat Records (2)

A sharp-witted blend of rhythmic swagger and world-weary irony.

Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, driving bassline of The Distance that feels like a physical forward motion.
The jarring, profanity-laced defiance in the bridge of their I Will Survive cover.
The lonely, echoing trumpet solo that closes out the cosmic melancholy of Frank Sinatra.
