First of all this has some wonderful artwork that will have you drooling before you even hear a note and of course with a title such as 'Cake' it's not hard to workout just what Race Horses are singing about. Now is it just me or is something going on in Wales that allows for the churning out of some rather peculiar yet extraordinary bands and chiefly I'm thinking of the Super Furries but with a little leg up I could see Race Horses up on that perch alongside them one listen to 'Cake' will confirm it for you all I'm sure, there's even the Welsh language b-side that I have no idea what it is going on in but it's a cacophony of brilliance.

'Cake' is full of bonkers psychedelia and trip-tastic Coral-esque (minus the scouse-ness) beauty that drills along with some wonderful Coxon inspired guitar riffs that seem so basic but really pulverise the song into a new stratosphere. Inspiration must come from plenty of those early 60's sounds of The Byrds and Beach Boys but there's a freshness in the way the music is delivered even the vocal delivery that's pure Costello.

Now just to work out what the b-side is all about and I can let you all know but one thing is for sure musically it's all over the place and truly a sight to hear (makes no sense I know).
