It's not exactly the most daring aesthetic decision to copy New Order/Joy Division's melodramatic, dance-rock sound, but Cold Cave do it better than Editors at least. The Philly and New York group are poised for a Girls-like breakthrough next month, when their sophomore album, Love Comes Close, gets reissued by Matador. Given their new major indie-backing, they've got a budget for videos, like this one for "Love Comes Close" that has a home video, basement party vibe that isn't suggested in their music that much.
Love Comes Close is due on Nov. 3. [Stereogum]
sounds familiar....
