Description

This is a rare vinyl test pressing of the Dais Records reissue of The Cakekitchen's 1991 sophomore album World of Sand


"Things are a little less gentle and a tad more nervous. By no means is the band revisiting Jefferies' This Kind of Punishment days, but there's a certain kinship in the musical tension created by such songs as "Don't Be Fooled by the Label," where a persistent piano line underpins the entire piece, aided and abetted by a lovely keyboard countermelody and a discordant viola. Jefferies unsurprisingly is still the main guy in the whole shebang, again embracing a combination of rock/pop trio foundation and unexpected touches and deviations from that particular norm. Interestingly, he treats his vocals to the slight echo/overdub combination which he often used before the Cakekitchen but had mostly set aside on the previous album. The approach makes for a welcome return, the title track especially benefitting as he sings over acoustic guitar and Galbraith's wraithlike strings." - All Music
