About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Sounding like a suburban, melodic, white funk-injected version of King Missile's performance art/standup comedy, "The Distance" became a novelty hit in the fall of 1996, sending Cake's second album, Fashion Nugget, to platinum status. Certainly, "The Distance" was the only reason Fashion Nugget went platinum, because the remainder of the album is too collegiate and arcane for mainstream music tastes. It isn't because it's obscure or intellectual -- it's because the band is smirking. An "ironic" cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is the key to the album, sending the signal that nothing is too insignificant to make fun of. Their blend of collegiate musical styles -- funk, hip-hop, alternative rock -- makes the music easy to digest in small doses, such as "The Distance." Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

September 27, 2010: I REALLY like Cake, and Fashion Nugget is a good one. After listening to pop radio for 10 seconds and wishing I had been born deaf, Cake's style jolts the eardrums just right. I especially like their use of brass. (and I disagree with Stephen Thomas Erlewine wholeheartedly when he says that Fashion Nugget is tedious.) With the cd player on shuffle, my favorite songs are usually Cake's. I find them to be about as quality as my other favorite stuff (if not in musical virtuosity, at least in humor and unique sounds).
