Not sure why so many people are comparing these to Depeche Mode. Maybe some of their other stuff does, but this sounds like New Order's later material, if anything. Great song.
I saw you playing in 2014 warming up in Denmark for NIN and i didn't know anything about your music. And now i still really love your music :) Come soon to Denmark again.
Interesting bit of trivia: The fellow on the keyboards is one Ian Dominick Fernow, otherwise known by the moniker Prurient. Compare and contrast, ladies and gentlemen.
These guys sound like Depeche Mode. That is very cool. There are so many of these New Wave Revival bands coming out making good music. That is at least one good thing about living in these hard times.
I saw them late summer’ 14 open up for Sound garden and NIN; Cold Cave was great live, so in comparison to studio material, and the way the whole band commanded the stage, that was years of talent on display - NIN what is there to say (wow)
The Cold Cave/ Sound Garden show was special in that it was out side @ an amphitheater and NIN was in town and a last minute add on. I had waited literally over ten years to see them since a young teen (Trent & friends). Cold Cave; otherwise not a band I listen to, in my opinion jammed flawlessly, better than Sound Garden for that matter. NIN was utterly incredible energy for musicians 20+ years older than me. My point above (past tense now), there are bands that are simply just damn good whatever/wherever the environment, some good live, some good in the studio and some who have played together for so long it becomes a collective improvisation.
Each band has its influence, while everything sounds good and has good production support, and the public likes it, there are always traces of sounds and influences of other bands or old musicians (etc, etc...New order, Human League, Joy Division, etc,etc, etc). I did not know this band and I found it with the project of the techno producer Chris Liebing (inviting the Cold Cave vocalist). Greetings from Chile. Cada banda tiene su influencia, mientras que todo suena bien y tenga un buen soporte de producción, y al público le guste, siempre hay rastros de sonidos e influencias de otras bandas o músicos antiguos (etc, etc. New Order, Joy Division, Human League, etc, etc, tc.) . No conocía a esta banda y la encontré con el proyecto del productor de techno Chris Liebing (invitando al vocalista de Cold Cave). Saludos desde Chile.
I feel like I'm watching The Informers...yeah pretty much what Gremiocomanda said. Great music though, I love the collision of male and female singers!!! Great harmonizing and lyrics.
I believe the bassist in this video's name is Sarah Lipstate? Correct me if I'm wrong... She's not only drop dead gorgeous, but also incredibly talented. She has alot of unique sound collage stuff up on her site.
This reminds me of a MEGA CROSS between A-Ha (singers voice), Spock (YES, don't deny... the resemblance is totally there!) and like U2 kind of music.... I think my jaw dropped at the voice... then drool began to pool.... then the music round house kicked me into OBLIVION! -K-O-!!!!!!!
does anyone know any similar bands like these guys, well i know its only wes now but like this song does anyone know similar ones? If so, send me a pm thanks!
400th like!! I heard this on my local (Anchorage) university's radio. you can listen for free on their website, KRUA 88.1 FM. they play all kinds of indie music.
actually they're the exact same band. they got sued by someone claiming they had the rights to AN and changed their name to GUTG, the title they were gonna use for we're down til we're underground originally
@sassarella718 My bad! You're right... I thought it might have been Sarah in a blonde wig or something. Thank you! I've got a second crush now! Cold Cave goes through bassists like I go through socks.
Goddamn this is a perfect fucking song. And I agree, he reminds me of Michael Ian Black!!! This album is so much better than their first, every song is great.
if youre involved in the hardcore scene of today you see a lot of the kids being into bands like morrissey, joy division, goth and post punk music etc. and if you listen to their other songs you clearly here the gothic influence.
I'm not going to lie, seeing them live, and hearing them for the first time, I thought these guys sucked. I'm actually glad I decided to give then a second chance because they're actually pretty good. But besides the point, I don't think they were a great mix with NIN. and Soundgarden.
GhostShock Don’t disrespect American Nightmare dawg you have no idea how much they reinvigorated fast hardcore in the mid 00’s. They’re truly a seminal / timeless band
Does the lead singer only have 1 hand? My friend told me he does haha and I have seen nothing to disprove that. When we saw them live with NIN I didn't see his other hand at all.
Dominick Fernow is not nearly as animated and dance-y as he was at Pitchfork. Such a good performance, and for my singing along, I got a wave from Wesley Eisold. Terrific goth-pop, though this is one of the least compelling numbers on the album.
If you don't think the singer's voice sounds like Dave Gahan, then you need to get your ears checked. This song would have fit perfectly on "Music for the Masses."
omg! it's been 10 years since this LP. Los Angeles 2011. Still gives me the chills. Such awesome music. Feels so 80's.
Absolutely love this
One of my favourite Cold Cave songs 🔥🔥
My favorite Cold Cave song .... greetings of Peru.
These guys are awsome! I just now stumbled upon them through matador records page on here and I'm sure glad I did because they're freakin amazing!!
best lineup
so happy ive found this band amazing
Not sure why so many people are comparing these to Depeche Mode. Maybe some of their other stuff does, but this sounds like New Order's later material, if anything. Great song.
I thought it was a solo project by the main singer of The National. I can see how people can think it sounds like Depeche Mode.
sounds like an other generic joy division/new order act
their other stuff sounds waaaaaaaaaay more 'cold' and 'melancholic'
Oddly, I was just thinking that myself, New Order with Nick Cave in uncharacteristically cheery mood on vocals. :D
it is ok,but like real DM copy...
I love the end quote from the lyrics.
Its cold cave plain and simple. Its not the 80's its here and now. .. We Made it through the past... Peace love and cold cave...
I saw you playing in 2014 warming up in Denmark for NIN and i didn't know anything about your music. And now i still really love your music :) Come soon to Denmark again.
fantastic and fresh!
I love Cold Cave!
Very Neworderesque, I love it!
un gran cantante...
Dom Fernow on VEVO. Fucking apocalypse.
I loved this song
Interesting bit of trivia: The fellow on the keyboards is one Ian Dominick Fernow, otherwise known by the moniker Prurient. Compare and contrast, ladies and gentlemen.
this is great!
Brilliant!
dude ! we're back at the 80's !!
loved it again
wow loved it
Caramba, parece ontem o lançamento, como tempo voa. Amo esse povo das trevas disfarçado de indie. haha
Great track. Cool vid
Fantástico esse som que viagens músical
Wes Eisold is the man. Love this record.
These guys sound like Depeche Mode. That is very cool. There are so many of these New Wave Revival bands coming out making good music. That is at least one good thing about living in these hard times.
they remind me of the 80's. i like them

wish I'd been There 2014

Wes Eisold is brillant.
That bass player is a babe! 😍
This song has the "final song of the movie" sound effect. Im not sure what to call it lol
Dammit. This is great.

R.I.P. This album's tour.
I believe the bassist in this video's name is Sarah Lipstate? Correct me if I'm wrong... She's not only drop dead gorgeous, but also incredibly talented. She has alot of unique sound collage stuff up on her site.
12 years too late, but I think it's Jennifer Clavin (from Bleached/Mika Miko). She was in the band at this time.
@WanderingTwin1 Maybe also a little Lloyd Christmas?
@jmek17 Jennifer Clavin?
It's funny how every Cold Cave you can name the band and teh song they are 'influenced' by.
I guess they are good gateway band.
Hey, it me from the future! Just finding this and love it. How the fuck does anyone think this sounds like Depeche Mode?
@jelainegin i get where your coming from! + very New Order!!!
I get it. Bat cave crossed with cold wave. Cold Cave. Gotta have indepth knowledge of post-punk/goth evolution
TheAlmightyFrowny I think it stands for vagina.
NeoTheOne
Or bussy
Басистка как молодая Пугачева) уж простите, не удержалась.
Шикарный трек, басистка тоже;)

Su voz es sexy!
I really wanted to hate this, because I'm a raging asshole, but....this song kicks ass.
actually they're the exact same band. they got sued by someone claiming they had the rights to AN and changed their name to GUTG, the title they were gonna use for we're down til we're underground originally
@sassarella718 My bad! You're right... I thought it might have been Sarah in a blonde wig or something. Thank you! I've got a second crush now! Cold Cave goes through bassists like I go through socks.
reminds me ever so slightly of killing time by echo and the bunnymen... for some strange reason.
This video isn't loading on my computer . :(
Is it because its vevo ? Or is it that my computer is bogged down with Sims 3 . Humph.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Goddamn this is a perfect fucking song. And I agree, he reminds me of Michael Ian Black!!! This album is so much better than their first, every song is great.
If you have a chance, hook me up with some pointers. You really have an excellent channel here! I hope to be making music like you someday. 💙😄
thts Wes from AN. I'm also blown away and figure out what and how he transitioned to this. he's an amazing song writer, but I'm confused.
if youre involved in the hardcore scene of today you see a lot of the kids being into bands like morrissey, joy division, goth and post punk music etc. and if you listen to their other songs you clearly here the gothic influence.
close, it's actually wes from some girls.
nah, it's wes from XO Skeletons
@DamagedApotheosis really? I think this is maybe their best song ever, and it enjoys some stiff competition there...
Super oi
In what universe can this be considered in any manner as "noise" ??
I'll admit, this is a good song, but will their performance flow with Soundgarden's and NIN's?
***** Good to hear! I'm gonna see them in three days and I'm really looking forward to it!
I'm not going to lie, seeing them live, and hearing them for the first time, I thought these guys sucked. I'm actually glad I decided to give then a second chance because they're actually pretty good. But besides the point, I don't think they were a great mix with NIN. and Soundgarden.
We might have celebrated 2 soon..
@WanderingTwin1 :)
gute alte Musik
love it, but his haircut reminds me of the kills and josi
This is the guy from American Nightmare.
Yup. This is a much better band.
GhostShock Don’t disrespect American Nightmare dawg you have no idea how much they reinvigorated fast hardcore in the mid 00’s. They’re truly a seminal / timeless band
@DeathofRogue Jajaja XD This makes me laugh so hard
singer reminds me of michael ian black
joy division?
This song and album make me less upset that American Nightmare no longer exists.
@falcoperegrinus82 lol :)
you know he kinda is the singer from give up the ghost?
@rhgrlehgre
the lead singer's a guy....
I know, I was shocked, too
Does the lead singer only have 1 hand? My friend told me he does haha and I have seen nothing to disprove that. When we saw them live with NIN I didn't see his other hand at all.
yes he is missing a hand. its true
wes lost his hand when he was a kid playing with fireworks and he held one for too long
Callum Middleton shit no way.similar thing happened to me but I just got second degree burns
Chris V
Actually, he was just born with one hand
Am i really watching a VEVO video with Dominic fernow (prurient!) in it? Wtf?
Pale Shelter, Tears for Fears...but I love it non the less...
...Is that Prurient?!
+Feral Music Official it is ;)
=( this is pressing on my mood.
is that michael ian black?
he looks like Comedian Michael Ian Black lol!!
HAAAAAA! yeah. That dried up my vagina, tho.
Buacsa por WebBeaah en Facebook y Hazte Fans
*Killing Moon... was recalling the lyrics. Now I feel stupid.
That's wes from american nightmare!!! Yes, he only has one hand.
Dominick Fernow is not nearly as animated and dance-y as he was at Pitchfork. Such a good performance, and for my singing along, I got a wave from Wesley Eisold. Terrific goth-pop, though this is one of the least compelling numbers on the album.
Girl on the bass? Wow
This song doesn't sound anything like Depeche Mode.
Agreed.
There is a FINE line between imitation & inspiration. This is IMITATION. Vanilla. All filler, no killer
he sounds like the singer from "Pulp" lol
Wes needed a haircut
Am/pm
UGH ITS AMERICAN NIGHTMARE GET IT RIGHT UGHHHHHH
NUH UH THEY BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT RELEASES DOWN TILL WE'RE UNDERGROUND IS DIFFERENT FROM BACKGROUND MUSIC
This video is super hot...sigh...reminds me of my goth dj days
meh, ricordatevi che vi ho dato dei soldi solo per rivedermi Trent Reznor & co.
Good to see the untalented girl from Mika Miko gets a second chance.
alright, the record version is quite superior to this live performance
If you don't think the singer's voice sounds like Dave Gahan, then you need to get your ears checked. This song would have fit perfectly on "Music for the Masses."
I don't know what's funnier, this band or the insane comments their fans are leaving.
Super cool hair cut though.
if i wanted to listen to 80's gothic music, I'd timetravel. to when it really was good.
I think rock music is dying please come back
