Cold Cave: "Love Comes Close" (MP3)

8:41 p.m. · June 9, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

The deadpan vocals on "Love Comes Close" deliver lyrics that are really only a cut above excessively melodramatic high school poetry, but the great thing about music is that you don't have to be Pablo Neruda in order for your content to seem meaningful, as long as you can come up with a good beat, which Cold Case does. "Love Comes Close" does sound a little bit like like New Order doing Q Lazzarus, but that's a combination so obvious and brave that the band deserves some applause for that alone.

There's more where "Loves Comes Close" came from: Cold Case has a collection of singles coming out on What's Your Rupture?. [The Fader]
