Cold Cave biography

Cold Cave (formed in 2007) is the stage name American electronic indie-rock and darkwave artist Wesley Eisold whom lends influences from the likes of Joy Division and Depeche Mode – hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.

Former vocalist of the hardcore bands Give Up the Ghost and Some Girls, Cold Cave represents Wesley Eisold’s earliest excursion into instrumentation. Born with one hand, electronic music production through synths and drum machines were seen as more accessible to the musician who released his earliest material on Dais Records. In 2008 Eisold issued his debut EP “Coma Potion” on Heartwood Records, which was followed by the full-length “Love Comes Close” in 2009. Led by the single “The Trees Grew Emotions and Died”, the record earned a host of esteemed reviews and spawned the subsequent singles “The Laurels” and “Life Magazine”.

A pair of EPs followed in 2010, the first a split release with Prurient entitled “Stars Explode” and the second a collection of remix for his track “Life Magazine”. The following year Cold Cave issued the sophomore studio album “Cherish the Light Years” on Matador Records. Earning posistive reviews from the likes of Pitchfork Media, the album spawned the singles “The Great Pan Dead”, “Villains of the Moon”, and “Confetti” / “Believe in My Blood”.

Initially intended to feature on an upcoming album, the singles “A Little Death to Laugh”, “Oceans with No End”, “God Made the World”, “Black Boots”, and “Nausea, The Earth and Me” appeared in 2012 and 2013. The following year Cold Cave issued a pair of compilations “Cremations” and “Full Cold Moon” both of which collected his most thoughtful and challenging tracks to appeal to a larger audience.

Live reviews

The music of Cold Cave live is a dark, synthpop, noisy affair. But that is what you are here for, right? He puts on the loudest, synthetic, noise music you will hear. Heads are banging and drinks are being poured.
The audience is rather relaxed, listening to the haunting synthetic sounds, until one woman lets out an excited yell for the musician and his sounds. Heads begin to loosen and bob a bit, and the music ends on a dark note with a short burst of applause from the audience.But that is just one, intimate affair full off the hip and the young.
When Cold Cave plays a large, concert venue the audience gets fully into it. As the lights flashed in quick time in Coppenhagen heads were banged, applause was made, and the darkness was celebrated in both the audience and the music. The light shows were nothing short of spectacular, as bright white flashes gave way to blue circles of ominous darkness. It perfectly underscored the gothic synthetic sounds that made up the musician's performance.
You could not be there without feeling like you were being hypnotized by a new wave of sound and noise.

I saw them as an opener, they were alright. Their set was an hour long and they took almost 40 minutes to set up, which wasn't great but I get stuff happens, there might've just been some weird issues.

I'm admittedly not a huge fan of their music but it wasn't unenjoyable. A good like half of the crowd was moving and seemed to be enjoying them.

Then after one of their songs the lead singer immediately started yelling at someone in the crowd for not paying attention, and demanded they leave. It was super uncomfortable, people were looking around super surprised and after that I've never seen a more dead crowd, it *really* killed the vibe.
