Cake Talks Independence and New Album at Dfest
In an interview that should be up on the Dfest go-to page tomorrow, I spoke with Cake in a video interview at Tulsa’s Crowne Plaza about their long-awaited follow-up to 2004′s Pressure Chief, which will be their first released as an autonomous independent act through cakemusic.com. It appears that it will be released next year, unless it isn’t.
Vince DiFiore, most identifiable trumpet sound in rock: You know, I think it sounds more bold than any other Cake record. Its sorta like when you learn to tie your shoes, you get faster and faster, better and stronger at tying your shoes. We’ve had practice as a group together working on this process, and everyone’s put the right foot forward, and brought everything they’ve learned musically to the process. We didn’t make any deliberate attempt to make a different sound or reinvent ourselves, but it’s just stronger by virtue of being the next step for us.
John McCrea, “Oh no, all right”: That was the great freedom of being on our own label — we don’t have to look at our watch all the time. We’ll release it when we feel like it. I think we’ll probably start to release songs from it — we’ll give them away to people who signed our mailing list at cakemusic.com, and then maybe early next year we’ll release the album. If we feel like it.
