Cold Cave: "Oceans With No End"

RIP Justin Benoit. The former Cold Cave collaborator passed away from an undisclosed reason last week. The "band" is basically Wesley Eisold's baby, so Benoit's passing won't affect the touring/release schedule (he'd already exited the revolving door line up some time prior) but at 35 years old his untimely end seems like exactly the kind of warm eulogy a track like "Oceans With No End" was meant to commemorate.

Cold Cave: "A Little Death to Laugh"

Tidy little sound Cold Cave got going for them, grimly fiendish goth vox insisting on business up front while squiggly, upbeat synth lines scream party in the back. It's like if Erasure went darkwave, which is exactly what Erasure should be doing right about now.

This 7" is supposed to be getting a release via Heartworm Press but damned if I can find it on their site, so shoot on over to Cold Cave's website if you want it.
