Dark Post-punk
Upcoming Cold Cave Tour
Cold Cave is the music of acclaimed musician and writer Wesley Eisold. With an already prolific number of releases, Cold Cave has become a name synonymous with the contemporary resurgence of Darkwave and Synth-Pop, propelling Cold Cave to tours with Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, The Cult, The Jesus and Mary Chain and more. Cutting his teeth in legendary hardcore punk band American Nightmare, Eisold’s body of work has truly effected a generation of listeners. Through constant cross-pollination, he has gained mass appeal, influencing underground and popular culture with his ever evolving artistic vision. With a baritone as rich and resonating as that of Morrissey, Nick Cave, or David Bowie, juxtaposed with the prophetic musings of his collaborator Amy Lee. Stylistically they are heirs to the noir of The Velvet Underground, Joy Division and The Cure with the ideals of artistic minimalism reminiscent of the avant-garde. Marked by a pitch black aesthetic - there is a light of hope in their brand of goth new wave. Eisold was born without his left hand, making his foray into electronic music and singing, the obvious path, situating him as a voice of adversity for the outsider. Cold Cave craft melodic synthscapes with jackhammer beats, songs celebrating the contradictory beauty of the human condition. They have issued a number of releases through Heartworm Press, their independent publishing house of books and records.
