REVIEWS "X"

"This music, for me, has a certain indescribable magic or charm that is lacking in so much music that I hear.>

The lyrics are clever, the vocals, rich and textural, the accordian...sounds cool again (did it ever?)...and it definitely has some lovely british swank going for it. "
CAVEDOLL

"The Budda Cakes make me happy, make me smile, make me wanna go tell the world about their alternative take on modern music. The Budda Cakes are just such a pleasure to partake of - their music is refreshingly strange, their sound is delightfully unusual, their lyrics are so beautifully 'normal'. Yep, I like The Budda Cakes muchly!!

'X' is The Budda Cakes' new album - a pretty stunning work that can sound glib and tongue in cheek yet it's amazingly original and thoroughly enjoyable. Just a three-piece maybe but with their armoury of instruments and accessories that most bands would leave in the second-hand shop, The Budda Cakes make a wonderfully intoxicating 'noise', they sound as if they really enjoy themselves and their enthusiasm is contagious.>

The Budda Cakes make great music, they refuse to be pigeonholed, they challenge musical normality and I love everything they do!!" TOXIC PETE

"Fractious and haphazard as a raging manic-depressive, “X” exudes a quirky sense of mystery from beginning to end. Loaded with frantic references to Central London and accompanied by a flurry of accordion-like harmonium notes....

Resting somewhere between giddiness and raving insanity, “X” is by turns both an irrepressibly hyperactive and eerily tender slice of experimentalism."
Faye Coulman / GLASSWERK

They are brilliant. It’s been quite a trip by the time the last note rings out, and one which is going to keep you interested for ages.
Leeds Musicscene

The Budda Cakes combine more creative artistry and freewheeling melodic depth than a fair few bands currently receiving accolades and plaudits. They appear to have an uncanny knack at shitting tunes at will.
Loosing Today

The Budda Cakes are quite unique from anybody else.

“Possibly one of the most diverse acts we’ve ever seen at dancetillyoudie, The Budda Cakes use every instrument from Toypianos to Harmoniums to Sock Monkeys to create quite astonishing music.”
