"Long Time" comes from Showroom of Compassion, Cake's 2011 album, and it's credited to John McCrea and Vincent DiFiore. The band produced it themselves and handled the engineering and mixing alongside Patrick Olguin, which keeps the sound close and unfussy: a dry, loping groove and the band's trademark deadpan, delivered like a man who has seen it all and is still mildly amused.
