Fashion Nugget is the band’s second album that was originally released on 9/17/96. It included their biggest track “The Distance” as well as other hit songs “I Will Survive” and “Frank Sinatra.”

 

Originally formed as a somewhat antagonistic answer to grunge, CAKE’s democratic processes, defiant self-reliance, and lucid yet ever-inventive music has made them a nation-state unto themselves, with no obvious peers, belonging to no school. In addition to writing, arranging, producing, and performing their own music, they have taught themselves to engineer their recording projects in their solar-powered studio, which actually generates more power than is needed to run it, causing the building’s electrical meter to run in reverse.
