While so many rock bands try to reinvent themselves with every new album, Cake has made a name for itself by sticking to its brand of smirking funk-pop. Blending jazz, rockabilly, experimental rock, and a little less country than usual, Comfort Eagle, the band’s first album since leaving Capricorn Records for Columbia, carries on the Cake tradition of offbeat humor and catchy melodies.
