"Villains of the Moon" is the 2nd single and closing track from Cold Cave's sophomore LP Cherish The Light Years . The album is released today via Matador records, which you can stream here .
Cold Cave return with their bolder, more song-oriented new sophomore album Cherish The Light Years , out today on Matador. With more of a focus on the lyrics and singer-songwriter Wesley Eisold's voice, the album seamlessly incorporates Brit-pop, touches on New Order and The Cure and mixes in harsher textures like, Industrial for a more cohesive and ambitious album. The thundering industrial assault and anthemic chorus of album opener "The Great Pan Is Dead" sets the scene for the darker yet still melodic tone of the album. "Pacing Around The Church" features intertwining guitar and synths [...]
Coming out of New York City, Wesley Eisold is the centre-piece of this synth-rock band; singer, writer and programmer – he does almost everything on this, his second album as Cold Cave , save some guest vocals. His own vocals are in the mould of '80s monochromatic male pop voices, from Bryan Ferry to Dave Gahn to Echo's Ian McCulloch and perhaps a little Bowie – all of which can be applied to White Lies' Harry McVeigh too, and they are not dissimilar. In Eishold's case, the music itself is harvested from the golden Casio age when pop starts [...]
Cold Cave mostly sounds bigger and better on Cherish the Light Years , just not all the time. Don't be surprised if you can't recognize Cold Cave when the group's new album Cherish the Light Years starts in media res, pounding you over the head from the get-go with a startling blast of churning riffs and heavy, relentless rhythms on "The Great Pan Is Dead". While frontman Wesley Eisold made a name for his band a few years ago on a handful of bounding, almost giddy synth-pop singles, he's put quite a bit...
An honest and unprofessional look back and, in some cases, forwards, to some of the albums that I spent my time with in March, not constrained by archaic concepts such as release dates. The Vaccines – What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? I want to say that this is a guilty pleasure, but I'm not sure how I've become convinced by the music media that enjoying pop music is shameful. It's not inventive, it's doesn't present a new template for pop music and it definitely [...]
Inspired by the city that never sleeps, Cold Cave's sophomore effort manages to sound retro and modern all at once.

Harking back to those 802s Industrial, Gothic, Synthpop days are Cold Cave. However, Cold Cave (aka Wesley Eisold ) takes care to not just repeat the sound of the 802s but to push it further for a more relevant sound for today. Very strong Joy Division and New Order vibe on this track. This track is taken from Cold Cave's second full length titled, "Cherish the Light Years". Cold Cave - Confetti

Take the darkness from Bauhaus, add the up tempo dance feel of New Order and throw in some Clan of Xymox and Wolfgang Press for spice and Cold Cave is what you get. A modern day version of some of the my favorites from the 802s and they call this genre Darkwave. Whatever you want to call it, I kinda like it. Maybe because it sifts through memories that I thought were long gone by this point. Cold Cave have a new album coming out next Tue 4.5 titled Cherish the Light Years, and [...]
Cold Cave - Villains Of The Moon
Cherish The Light Years ' second single, the romantic, guitar-lined duet "Villains Of The Moon," is the perfect closer to an album that starts with an upswinging anthem like " The Great Pan Is Dead ," and keeps on going ... If you haven't heard onetime BTW Cold Cave's second proper full-length, you're bound to be blown away by the shift from the earlier material. The finale: Read More...
