{"product_id":"bressa-creeting-cake","title":"Bressa Creeting Cake","description":"\u003cp\u003eAll too rarely does a musical group come along with all the right bits intact and just enough of the wrong bits there to make you sit up and really take notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmerging on the \u003cstrong\u003eFlying Nun\u003c\/strong\u003e label in the late 90s, \u003cstrong\u003eBressa Creeting Cake\u003c\/strong\u003e was heralded as a young band \"brimming with ideas\". Their self-titled 1997 debut album - made up of 15 tracks swinging between psychedelic and progressive rock (including single 'Nervous Wreck') received acclaim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving already made serious wobbles in the airwaves over student radio with a string of demo recordings. Stretching their prodigious talents into a full album's worth of tunes, this young band revel in the chance to show us exactly what they're capable of. And that, my friends, is a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight from the calypso swing of \u003cem\u003e'Palm Singing\u003c\/em\u003e', \u003cstrong\u003eBressa Creeting Cake\u003c\/strong\u003e kick into the playful pop inventiveness that stands as the album's major mood. The vast array of styles on the album include plenty of psychedelic tinges and a hint of progressive rock, but the band don't get stuck in any one place for long over fifteen songs. And those frivolous moments like \u003cem\u003e'Rocky Mountain'\u003c\/em\u003e are balanced out by more earnest tracks such as \u003cem\u003e'You and I'\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e'They Write Words To People Who Are Dead\u003c\/em\u003e'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically, both Edmund Cake and Geoff Creeting string words together with no small amount of flair. Whether it be the Hungarian\/Mongolian hybrid language in 'Zenax', the imaginative leaps of syntax and imagery in \u003cem\u003e'Rocky Mountain'\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003e'Egyptian Tanker\u003c\/em\u003e', or the strange tales told in the likes of \u003cem\u003e'A Chip That Sells Millions\u003c\/em\u003e' or \u003cem\u003e'An Early Microscope'\u003c\/em\u003e, the use of words and meaning adds depth to the tunes here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeoff Maddock (then going by the stage name Geoff Creeting) and Joel Wilton, went on to form pop-folk band Goldenhorse alongside Kirsten Morelle. Ed Cake has released a solo album and produced \u003cstrong\u003eDon McGlashan\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eNeil Finn\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eThe Brunettes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pAlXRp7JslQ\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bressa Creeting Cake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32496680796222,"sku":"FNLP385","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0397\/2773\/products\/FNCD385_-_Bress_Creeting_Cake_-_Bressa_Creeting_Cake_-_Cover_JPG_1024x1024_4975f4fe-7292-46f1-8bf6-6637e409efd4.jpg?v=1571268832","url":"https:\/\/www.ohjeanrecords.com\/products\/bressa-creeting-cake","provider":"Oh!
