Pressure Chief by Cake
Pressure Chief is an album by Cake, released in 2004. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 33 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “No Phone”, on 24 lists with a best position of #24.
Pressure Chief, Cake's fifth album and their last for Columbia, finally arrived on October 5, 2004, after slipping from an August date. The Sacramento band produced it themselves in a converted house back home, and it has that homemade, rattly feel: John McCrea's deadpan drawl, Vince DiFiore's trumpet cutting through, Xan McCurdy's wiry guitar and Gabe Nelson's bass locked into a dry, bouncing groove.
"No Phone" is the single that stuck, a jerky, droll strut that climbed to number 13 on the modern rock chart. "Carbon Monoxide" followed it out without catching the same fire, and "The Guitar Man" rounds out the songs that radio kept.
