Cold Cave Announce North American Tour Dates with Buzz Kull and Share New Single “Hourglass”

In 2007, Cold Cave emerged from the depths of the Los Angeles underground music scene, delivering a smoldering synth-driven darkwave sound that evokes the melancholy of a rainy day. Wesley Eisold, a seasoned figure in the hardcore band scene, transitioned skillfully into electronic music, melding post-punk, industrial, and synth-pop elements. Their captivating blend of brooding lyrics and atmospheric vibes quickly garnered a dedicated following. While the lineup has evolved, Eisold remains at the helm, now accompanied by Amy Lee. Cold Cave’s compositions often delve into themes of love, loss, and existential contemplation.

After a whirlwind year of supporting Depeche Mode, The Cult, and headlining events like Tomorrow’s Ghost Festival in the UK, Wave Gotik in Germany, Grauzone in the Netherlands, W Fest in Belgium, Adverso Fest in Mexico, Cold Waves, Levitation, and Darker Waves in the US, Cold Cave felt an undeniable urge to express themselves.

Cold Cave’s latest release, Hourglass, is like stepping into a nostalgic, endless summer crafted by the black-clad Los Angeles group, a veritable love letter to an era when music felt like an emotional time capsule. This shimmering anthem features Wesley Eisold and Amy Lee harmonizing their love story against a backdrop reminiscent of late ’80s and early ’90s tunes. Think of the heartfelt vibes of The Lightning Seeds, Republic-era New Order, and The Head On The Door-era of The Cure.

 “Now felt like the right time to release what we create as we create it,” says the band. “Sometimes touring takes center stage and we miss the thrill of creativity.”

Listen to “HOURGLASS” below:

Since their inception in 2007, Cold Cave has consistently carved their own path through the underground music scene. They blend the finest elements of post-punk, darkwave, and synth-pop, building a formidable discography of singles, LPs, EPs, and compilations. Cold Cave’s unwavering dedication to their fanbase led them to reissue landmark albums such as Cremations, Love Comes Close, Cherish The Light Years, Full Cold Moon, and Fate In Seven Lessons on luxurious 180-gram vinyl via Heartworm Press.
