Cake presents a perfect balance of irony and humor.
Their masterpiece, "Prolonging the Magic," was released in 1998. John McCrae's plain vocals and unique arrangement, including a trumpet, added a new color to alternative rock. With its ironic lyrics and catchy melodies, this album is a symbol of the indie scene of the late 1990s.
