Cold Cave
My apartment, windows drawn wide so I don't get stoned (alriiiight) and then die (oh, boooo) from the fumes of a painting project, is nearly no degrees right now. So, the name of this band, which my eyes have scanned over numerous times bandied about the internet and nestled into my "recent downloads," called out to me know in it's documentary description of my domicile.
Cold Cave - "The Trees Grew Emotions and Died"
A synth band called Cold Cave should sound a lot more seeeerious than this, but really, I like that it's playful. It's keyboard tone sounds a bit like Depeche Mode's "I Just Can't Get Enough" and also a bit like when a used car dealership cuts an ad for local cable, trying to tap into that "techno" craze all the kids are talking about. But once the vocals kick in, staggered, unintelligible, vaguely fluish, I find it hard to resist (despite my funny way of praising it). It sounds like the raddest high school goth kid of all time, jamming with his little sister, who makes him giggle enough times that he eventually forgets to glower entirely.
