how do you solve a problem like cold cave?
November 21, 2009
name ur idols, get famous, burn out. xx has already lost a member. big pink is still too derivative despite the midi controllers. can cold cave survive? all i ask is that they make it respectable, bdamed. when it fails blame bret easton ellis, mickey rourke, kim basinger and coke on the table. and leave the synth to us.

Come In Alone – My Bloody Valentine

The Jesus and Mary Chain – Reverence
…and vanish in a swirling glitter upon a gilttering swirl of music, with her high delicate head and her bold painted mouth and soft chin, her eyes blankly right and left looking, cool, predatory and discreet.
William Faulkner, Sanctuary, 1931

While their latest album isn’t quite so hot-off-the-presses anymore – Immolate Yourself was released in January – it’s still making obsessively regular appearances in my daily music rotation.
This album kills me. At times painfully beautiful, it pops and drones in a dreamy haze of sound. With a slight nod to shoegaze and hints of – dare I say it – IDM, it sucks you into an otherworld of shadowy ambient pop. It feels like the open road, a barren desert, long trips on a rural train. But it’s also warm, epic, and urban.
“Helen of Troy” and “You Are The Worst Thing In The World” are two of my faves. As is this one:
Tragically, one of the members of this talented duo died the same month this album was released. Charles Cooper will be missed.
