Since their inception in 1991, CAKE has managed to produce a distinctive and characteristic genre-transcending sound, born as a reaction to the grunge movement. The group is known for their dry humor, sharp observations, and uncompromising independence. Their latest album, 'Showroom of Compassion', debuted at number 1 on the US Billboard Top 200 and was praised by The New Yorker as “deadpan brilliance”. CAKE is currently hard at work on their ninth studio album, in which social criticism and inventive compositions once again take center stage.
