DOWNLOAD: Cold Cave - The Great Pan is Dead (MP3)
Perfect news for weather like today: Cold Cave are back with their second album on Matador, Cherish the Light Years, out April 5. You can download the first released track, "The Great Pan Was Dead," at the top of this post. For the price of your email address, you can get a zip of a higher quality MP3 of the track, artwork and handwritten lyrics via a download widget at the bottom of this post. If this track is indicative of the rest of the album, Cold Cave are sounding a little bigger, more ambitious than on their last album. It's almost got an '80s heartland rock vibe to it...run through a gothy filter, of course.
And as bands do when they have a new album coming out, they're going on tour, both headling dates and ones supporting The Kills. CC's only NYC show right now is opening for The Kills at Terminal 5 on April 29. Hopefully Cold Cave will play somewhere smaller on their own here as well.
All Cold Cave tour dates, plus Cherish the Light Years artwork and that download widget, are below.

I don't even need to be witty about it, Cold Cave sucks.

These poor souls look and sound miserable. Wish they would SIGH NO MORE by listening to some Mumford & Sons...

Cold Cave used to suck. This song is the best thing I've heard, not only from Cold Cave (by a long shot), but from anything Wes-related post-American Nightmare.

This band is proof positive that Pitchfork are idiots when it comes to finding good new bands.

Cold Cave are one of the best groups to come around in a long long time, hands down. Unique, mysterious, inspiring. There's a 'sexual energy' aesthetic to this band that's sort of hard to pinpoint, but an appealingly refined reservedness that balances it out, and a sleek 'operational' quality to their live performances, which just keep getting better and better. I believe the members are a truely rare and awesome combination. Don't listen to anyone saying this band sucks - how lame can these people be?! Get into Cold Cave, go to their shows, support real talent that is with us NOW, very independent -- not just some distant echo of the past or corporate prisoners. The New New Wave is alive and well.

All the 'haters' above the last post wouldn't know a thing about this band, or what good music sounds like. Wes Eisold recently stated: "This song and record is about magic, preservation, youth and movement." I think that's the stuff that is wanting these days... Cold Cave is a sound and aesthetic, a soundtrack for our times -- 'our' as in those of us who still have that fire of youth burning inside us.
