The band's distinctive sound emerged through the early 1990s and gained wider attention with Fashion Nugget (1996), which produced the singles The Distance and I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor cover). They signed with Capricorn Records and later Columbia, before launching their own Upbeat Records imprint for Showroom of Compassion (2011), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCake's sound combines alternative rock, indie rock, country rock, and funk with McCrea's distinctive deadpan vocal delivery, Vince DiFiore's trumpet (a defining sonic element), and arrangements that frequently incorporate disco, hip hop, and Latin influences. The band's aesthetic is often described as ironic, literate, and stylistically restless.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotorcade of Generosity (1994, Capricorn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFashion Nugget (1996, Capricorn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProlonging the Magic (1998, Capricorn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfort Eagle (2001, Columbia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure Chief (2004, Columbia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShowroom of Compassion (2011, Upbeat) - Billboard 200 number one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCapricorn and Columbia pressings of the Cake catalog have been issued in multiple variants.
