Things have somehow gotten a little chilly. Perhaps they’ll warm up after you listen to Cold Cave’s “Hourglass.” Maybe you can sit in a darkened room with a blanket on your head as the song plays. That always helps.
Cold Cave’s newest, “Hourglass,” is a shimmery nostalgia-drenched endless summer anthem from the black-clad Los Angeles group. The latest single features both Wesley Eisold and Amy Lee singing their love story against a coming-of-age sound that recalls the late 80’s and early 90’s lossless heartstring pull of The Lightning Seeds, Republic-era New Order and The Head On The Door-era of The Cure.
After a busy year supporting Depeche Mode, The Cult, and headlining Tomorrow’s Ghost Festival (UK), Wave Gotik (DE), Grauzone (NL), W Fest (BE), Adverso Fest (MX), Cold Waves, Levitation, and performing at Darker Waves (US), Cold Cave states “Now felt like the right time to release what we create as we create it. Sometimes touring takes center stage and we miss the thrill of creativity.”
