Cold Cave
Cold Cave has become synonymous with the modern-day resurgence of darkwave and synthpop. Since 2007, Wesley Eisold’s poetic lyrics and rich baritone combined with Amy Lee’s conceptual artistic vision have propelled Cold Cave to perform at world-class museums, The Getty and The Guggenheim, and tours alongside legends Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cult, and Ministry, among others. Marked by a pitch black aesthetic, crafting melodic synthscapes with songs celebrating the contradictory beauty of the human condition, they are cerebral and savage yet sweet and seductive. Based in Los Angeles, their efforts stretch across mediums into their book publishing company and record label, Heartworm Press, and bookstore The Daily Planet, where they have released the poetry of Alan Vega (Suicide), Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle & Psychic TV), and Mark Lanegan. From their primordial noise industrial beginnings to their shimmering signature synth-pop, Cold Cave have established themselves as long-running luminaries of the underground.
