CAKE – Strangers In The Night

CAKE formed in Sacramento, California in 1991. Although CAKE's music is often classified as “alternative” or “indie” rock, the band combines multiple musical genres, such as funk, soul, pop, jazz, rap, and country. As the band continues work on their next studio album (due out during autumn 2008), two albums have been released during 2007-2008 through Upbeat Records: “b-sides and rarities” (October 2007), which features Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" and Barry White's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up”, plus other covers and CAKE originals. The limited edition “scratch and sniff” album art and appeal of the recordings to long-time-listeners adds to the “b-sides and rarities” album's uniqueness, and “Live at the Crystal Palace” (2008).

I gave the song a listen and I like it. Let's see if it will grow on me. (September, 2008) Remember: oldie but goodie. Like wine, some songs get better due time. Is this one of them or was it just a one-day wonder? Click on the 'play'-button and enjoy!

I give it 2½ of 5 stars.
