“Let them eat cake” is the traditional translation of the French phrase “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”, supposedly spoken by “a great princess” upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was enriched, as opposed to normal bread, the quote supposedly reflects the princess’s obliviousness to the condition of the people.
Let Them Eat Cake is also an album I’ve (Lyle Horowitz) been working on (and off) since December. The album is inspired by the last 20 years of 18th Century France as well as the uncertain economic and political landscape of the present times. While mostly instrumental, the album features guest spots from Adam Warlock, Dieter Schaaf, Melvin Burch and PreZZure — who appears on “Message From A Friend”, the next single off of our collaborative album, The Woodside Boys, which drops this Halloween on RockTheDub.com.
