FMQB shows this going for adds on October 4-5, but this was premiered on my local Alternative-leaning AAA station this morning. It's from their upcoming album Showroom of Compassion.
They say the album is going to be "very different", but this sounds like Cake by numbers to me. Sounds like they were going for the same kind of appeal as singles like "Never There" and "Short Skirt/Long Jacket". Still, it's catchy and has that undeniable classic Cake feeling to it. I could see this doing well.
EDIT: FMQB also has the song streaming if you want to listen to it.

Short Skirt Long Jacket is on an Old Navy commercial right now, I think.

Short Skirt Long Jacket is on an Old Navy commercial right now, I think. Yeah, I saw that the other day. Surprising to hear since that song came out, what like nine years ago? Anyway, I've always enjoyed Cake since the mid-90s and they're a fun band, so I'm looking forward to this new material for sure.

I didn't think Cake was going to do this well. Congrats to the song!

I'm really enjoying this one; probably their best since "Short Skirt/Long Jacket". Glad this is still going fairly strong after a somewhat mediocre entrance onto the chart.

Excellent performing comeback single from Cake. Looks bound for a top 5 top-out at this stage.

At first I didn't think this would pass No Phone. Nice for them!

Looks like it's going to be seven straight weeks out of the box with a triple digit gain. That's actually unheard of. Good for them.

This really is a case of timing. New Cake just feels right at the moment. Had "No Phone" been released now, it probably would be storming up the chart similarly to how "Sick Of You" is right now.

While timing could be a factor in "Sick of You's" success, I also think it's a considerably more radio-friendly song than "No Phone". That song grew on me after a while, but I was always puzzled by its selection as the lead single.

Haha well I feel precisely the other way around, so go figure. Though I guess that charts support you so now I need someone else to come to my rescue and back me up on "No Phone" sounding like just as much of a hit as "Sick Of You".

^ I'd agree with that. I think "No Phone" is atleast as strong as this.

Yeah, the timing does have a lot to do with it. The same timing that allowed The Black Keys to follow up a #39 hit with a #1 hit two years later with what I feel are two equally radio-ready singles.

I thought that "Strange Times" was a lot more instant. "Tighten Up" was more of a grower (which might explain its slow ascent up the charts). Both are great songs though, and I definitely wish them more success in the future.

"No Phone" is my all-time favorite Cake single. "Sick of You" I don't care about at all at this point.

Yeah, "No Phone" is probably my favorite of theirs come to think of it with "Sick Of You" being more of a grower and on the lower half of their single rankings. I am rooting for it on the chart despite not loving the song, just because Cake was gone from the format for too long.

Interesting album sales strategy: the Cake concert here has a public onsale date of this Friday. However, the presale starts today. Instead of requiring a password, the presale requires that you preorder Showroom of Compassion.

Instead of requiring a password, the presale requires that you preorder Showroom of Compassion. That is a great way to sell albums and making sure fans get it the legal way, but I'd hope that they at least made the cost of the preorder cheap so people don't pay the full cost for a live show and an album all at once.

LOL, it's through Ticketmaster so of course there won't be any regard to the consumer. It will probably be even more expensive than what other stores are charging, with plenty of extra fees attached. But the fees aren't "hidden" anymore, so that somehow makes what they do better. Hate Ticketmaster.
