a truncheon to the head, a hammer to the heart.

...

Do you ever wake up in a day? A blaze of life overwhelms you; it's no longer a day that's merged, slipped and stretched from one to the next; it's no longer a day where nothing really starts nor ends - when it seems the night got caught up in the day and the day’s fallen asleep. BOOM! with a spread of synth, if you like it that way, Cold Cave will be that match for your fuse. Oh so 80s and oh so infectious, I was mesmerised by them when I spectated in person. It's music for the kids who want to feel a purpose when they realise they haven't seen daylight in 48 hours. This is all very paradoxical since Cold Cave is the genius of Wesley Eisold, who spouts vast quantities of nihilism and misery; however, he has brought together Caralee McElroy, Dominick Fernow and Max G Morton to create darkwave music that is hooky enough to relate to, and could it almost be disco?
