CAKE

À propos de l'expérience

Defiantly self-reliant since their early days as a somewhat antagonistic response to grunge, CAKE has built a singular, genre-blending sound with no clear peers in tone or perspective. Their last album, Showroom of Compassion, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 in the U.S. and was praised as “deadpan brilliance” by "The New Yorker.” Currently at work on their ninth studio album—due autumn 2026—CAKE continues to explore sharp cultural commentary through inventive songwriting. The band recently released a new track, “Hold You (Responsible),” on the "Songs for Sex" compilation, an artist driven response to Project 2025 as well as support for reproductive freedom and personal privacy. They also premiered a new song, “Billionaire in Space,” during a “Live From the Freight Elevator” session with Texas Public Radio in the U.S. Lead vocalist John McCrea describes it as “an observation of economic imbalance and being left behind.” Both tracks will appear on the upcoming album.
