Cold Cave 'Life Magazine' Video

Everybody's favorite song from Cold Cave's Love Comes Close LP just got a video. Matador just premiered this weirdo gem for 'Life Magazine. It's directed by Ben Chappell and Aaron Brown of Focus Creeps. Evidently 'Life Magazine' is going to be released as a single soon and you can read all about it and their crazy amount of new dates announced on the Matador site.







For the record, my favorite song from LCC is 'Youth And Lust', but it's pretty much a perfect record anyways so who cares.

Cold Cave / Stereogum Interview + News

Stereogum did an interesting look into the days and day jobs of Cold Cave members. As with anything with Wes & Co., it's more insightful than most musicians' interviews. Read it here.

In related news, if you are a shop in the US, you can purchase the Ye Olde Maids LP 'God Blesses Us, Mother Dresses Us' via Revolver USA and Carrot Top. It is also available at Art Fag's mail order site in increasingly limited quantities.

Cold Cave Video - Love Comes Close

Cold Cave have just released the video for the title track of their new LP, "Love Comes Close". It's cool. This song was the song of summer, but now that it's getting cooler, it's gonna go ahead and become the song of fall, and most likely the song of winter. Fuck it.
