Cold Cave - Love Come Close

Released: 02/11/2009 Matador
The Philadelphian synthpop group are a hugely unlikely proposition given their personnel. Wes Eisold, screamer in numerous hardcore groups, noise provocateur Dominick Fernow and Caralee McElroy of Xiu Xiu come together to create something… entirely listenable. If you’re unfamiliar with the sub-genre ‘darkwave’, prepare for an education.

allmusic“Robotic and emotive...” Love Comes Close is a strong debut not just because Cold Cave embraces their darkness so fully, but because they find so many shades within it...

Pitchfork“A successful collaborative effort with a clear sense of purpose...” Most of the pretenses presented here can't overshadow the sexy fun of a little black lipstick on the collar. Twilight fans, let's cut the shit: throw on a little Cold Cave and get down to business already...

Drowned In Sound“Fitfully very good...” They could have become a shitgaze sideshow; instead they made some damn elegant pop songs. Nobody should have a problem with that...
