Race Horses - Cake

Being a naive sort I applaud these rather talented Welsh popsters and their wish to proclaim their sweet toothed giddiness to the world. There will be those, weened on Brass Eye, who'll hear the word cake and presume the rapscallions are actually partaking of Hattie Jacques Pretentious Cheese Wog or Joss Ackland's Spunky Backpack and attempting to poison the minds of our youth... Either way the two tracks here are bloody marvellous. Cake is a mystical psychedelic pop beast, all eastern guitars, backward vocals and ooh be doo harmonies. B-side the partly Welsh sung Kinks-esq Cacen Mamgu is even better though with its vaudeville delivery, doleful brass and looped quirky effects. A stunning debut release.
