Confectionery has long been associated with sweet delights and indulgence, but it can also have a magical effect on our senses. When we think about confectionery, we often envision colorful candies, rich chocolates, and delicate pastries that bring joy to our taste buds. However, there is more to confectionery than just a sugary treat. Confectionery can prolong the magical melodies that fill our lives. Just like music, it has the power to transport us to different places and evoke emotions. When we bite into a perfectly crafted dessert, it can ignite a symphony of flavors in our mouths that dance and harmonize like a beautiful melody.
Prolonging the Magic was their third album; a perfect album title from the band whose first single was the droll, sarcastic “Rock n’ Roll Lifestyle”. For “prolonging” is all this band really does; once Cake figured out their signature sound, they made damn sure to stick to it, and in a sense you could copy and paste the same review for every single album they did. Since the success of “The Distance”, Cake began to force their lead singles a bit – “Never There” is certainly written like one, with its snappy, echoed-out bass line, call-and-response sections, ultra-simple chorus, and telephone noise gimmick; all there to distract you from the fact that there’s not much of a song there. But it catches the ear, and sometimes I feel that’s all Cake is trying to do. I mean these chord progressions are straight from the 50’s R&R playbook; the only real modern element here is that constant left-of-centerness that Cake strive for. Prolonging is more straight-faced than their first two albums, but there is still some strangeness here – sleigh bells, an air raid siren, little piano flourishes, lyrics that teeter between cliché and complete nonsense. Then you’ve got the three central tenants of the Cake sound: 1) shouty background vocals, 2) trumpets, and 3) “ahhh yeah, alright, ohhh no, nawww, hey!!” The first two make every song sound festive; even downtrodden ballads like “Mexico” and “When You Sleep”. The third, perhaps a way for McCrea to make himself seem more invested and excited than he sounds on record; otherwise, he’s about as detached a singer as you’ll find.
But nostalgia is a powerful thing, especially for a band as esoteric as this one Cake just seem to exist in their own zone, not really belonging to any era. Although CAKE s music is often classified as alternative or indie rock, it combines multiple musical genres, such as funk, pop, jazz, rap, and country.
When we bite into a perfectly crafted dessert, it can ignite a symphony of flavors in our mouths that dance and harmonize like a beautiful melody. Each bite of a confectionery masterpiece brings a new note, a new sensation that heightens our senses and creates a unique experience. Furthermore, confectionery has the ability to create lasting memories.
