Cake

"I have so much time," John McCrea sang half the album Cake Hall of Compassion (in stores tomorrow), the unconventional band, irony drenched debut album for more than six years new. What has now changed? Obviously not, but Cake classical guitar sterile sounds, playful horns and many half-sung, more fashionable than you has attitude voice is a grained, subjected reverb coated with Xan McCurdy agreements crunch guitar and echoing the music Rock, in time "whiskers (lost)" and "Federal Funds" drunken arrogance of the latter and retro, cheap keyboard sounds give his life more tangible signs in hand, you feel the tension, forced cooling of the previous efforts. instrumental song "Teenage Pregnancy" piano has unexpected effects, its neo-classical waltz, with hot beats and bass trumpet. In the middle of the files, uptempo bop "Sick Of You" is an area in the revival of his classic band, its catchy melody and spoken word middle section interspersed with the voice of the note later mark. Incorporate the effects of his old school video game ("Easy To Crash"), Spanish acoustic guitars ("what is now") and even a string section (the core of the chamber pop movement in "Italian Guy") have very much as they dry become, with a hint enough, and companies in a position (almost) deserves a break of six years. BYO tongue, cheeks, and a trucker hat.
