The dance of the dead is a term that comes to mind when I try to physically picture the musical aesthetic of Cold Cave. Danceable obviously, yet utterly consumed and inescapable from the morbid. Its exactly this dance that the New York dark-wave mega cluster — featuring the current lineup of Wesley Eisold (Some Girls), Dominick Fernow (Prurient), and Jennifer Clavin (Mika Miko) — will be personally delivering to Europe throughout the month of May.
After initial runs on Hospital, What’s Your Rupture?, and Heartworm Press, their debut album Love Comes Close was re-released by Matador late last year.
