Cake on Cake

Okay, so I'm gonna post about a non-electro/discopunk/synthyfag band this time. What?! Have I gone nuts? "Art", you might say, "why have you forsaken your giver, your mother, your secret lover that is dancepunk?" and then you'd weep. To which I'd reply "Well, unnamed reader, stop crying (and then I'd slap you around a bit cause thats how I roll), because this band called Cake on Cake is some pretty awesome, pretty stuff".

Its one girl from Scandinavia who plays some terrific, sleepy, cooing twee pop. She plays pretty much every instrument ever made: all voices, organ, piano, keyboard, rhodes, clavinet, metallophone, xylophone, recorder-flutes, cat & canary-flute, melodica, harmonica, guitar, mandoline, egg, claves, wood-block, tambourine, bells, triangles, cymbals, tablas, hand-drum, snare-drum, electronics, kazoo, sea-shells, hand-clap, lamp-shades, glass-animals. I didn't make that up. Hahah, "egg". "Hey dudes, I play egg in a band!". But seriously, this girl is like milk & honey. Check her out. But don't marry her. I do that.

Her new album's called "I Guess I Was Daydreaming"
