Description:
Cake Or Death -- a reference to Hazlewoods comic hero Eddie Izzard -- is the title of what Hazlewood has declared will be his swan song, one last album that he wishes to bequeath to the world before he returns to the shadows out of which he was dragged in the 90s, following his rediscovery by an extraordinary range of contemporary artists such as Beck, Pulp, Sonic Youth and Nick Cave. Full of Hazlewoods trademark drama, sentiment, lyrical trickery, subtle politics, ribald roguery, dry wit and unforgettable melodies its a fabulous curtain call that, with its final song T.O.M. (The Old Man), will not leave a dry eye in the house. (Ever Records)
