Cold Cave FACT Mix (Available for three weeks)

This exclusive mix comes courtesy of Wesley Eisold, the lead man in darkwave heroes Cold Cave.

For those unfamiliar with Cold Cave, they've just signed to Matador and will be re-releasing their debut album, 'Love Comes Close' this month. Originally released on Eisold's own Heartworm label, it's one of the albums of the year so far.

NME - album of the week (8/10) "Transformational odd-pop masterpiece."
Guardian Guide - pick of the week
"Love Comes Close is a piece of spectral, spectacular electronic pop."
The Wire
"Whereas so many current groups focus on the kitsch appeal of the 1980s, Eisold's morbid lyrics successfully reanimate the decade's darker currents, making Cold Cave a far more substantial proposition."
Uncut (3/5) "The indie-noise/synth-pop crossover of the year."
The Skinny (4/5)
"A fine soundtrack for the last dance at the disco at the end of the world."
Vice (7/10) "Sounds like a Magnetic Fields album smothered in distortion."
BBC "Utterly irresistible." Review

Dummy first listen "An indie electro classic." Review here
