Cake [John McCrea (Vocals/Piano/Nord), Vincent DiFiore (Trumpet/Euphonium/Keyboards), Xan McCurdy (Guitar/Synthesizer) and Gabriel Nelson (Bass/Guitar/Rheem/Bandalero)] announces their first album of new material since 2004’s Pressure Chief. They’ll release Showroom Of Compassion, their 6th studio album, January 11th 2011 on their own label, Upbeat Records (through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group). The album was recorded over the last two and a half years and was produced and engineered by the band themselves at CAKE’s own solar electric powered studio in Sacramento, CA.
The first single, “Sick Of You,” is off to a great start at Alternative, Rock and Triple A radio. As Spin.com can attest, “[‘Sick Of You’] is vintage CAKE, with frontman John McCrea’s jaded, semi-spoken vocals, crunchy guitar riffs, a skippy beat, and blasts of trumpet.” Spin.com has the exclusive online premiere of the song, listen HERE.
Starting today, fans have the opportunity to pre-order Showroom Of Compassion at CAKE’s own webstore http://cake.hasawebstore.com/ – They’ll be able to choose from bundles small and large that include autographed vinyl and CD’s, a limited edition 7-inch and exclusive t-shirts.
