Check 'em Out: Cake Bake Betty
There is a inescapable beauty and attraction to the sweet, bizarre music created by Lindsay Powell as Cake Bake Betty. This multi-instrumentalist originally from New Jersey, now resides in Chicago via Nashville and is part of the Infinity Cat collective, the micro-label created by Jake and Jamin Orrall, who also now live in Chicago and perform as JEFF. (Factoid: Jamin was the original drummer of Be Your Own Pet.) If we're lucky, the boys will be backing up Lindsay for her set at Subterranean this Saturday, when she peforms as a part of Bandwidth.
Lindsay is currently working on recording the follow-up album to her 2006 release Songs About Teeth,
which not only delivers what it promises "teeth songs", it is also filledwith sad and delightful tracks about desperation, hope, spines, and cannibals. At the heart and soul of this album is Lindsay's piano
playing and elegant voice (think Regina Spektor), which she is not
afraid of pushing to the limits, but with the help of some friends on cello, violin, mandolin, and drums the captivating sound of Songs About Teeth is achieved. She is armed to the teeth with an arsenal of quirky pop songs chock full of imaginative lyrics that we surely make you smile and squirm.
Here's the disturbingly, hilarious video for the catchy as hell song "64 Little White Things" Enjoy!
