Wheels

CAKE

A dusty, five-track collection of radio sessions and covers. Stripped-back basslines and mariachi trumpets meet a skeptical, country-inflected shuffle.

Find on Amazon

It's CAKE playing country songs in a radio booth, and it's exactly as cool as that sounds.

A dry, rhythmic shuffle through heartbreak and highway miles with a skeptical grin.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the trumpet mimics a weeping steel guitar on the Buck Owens cover.
The rhythmic, percussive delivery of the word 'silk' during the Daria session.
The dead-stop silence between the dry bass notes and the vocal entry on No Phone.
