We're excited to announce that Cold Cave's new 12" "Etsel and Ruby" is now available to pre-order via Insound.

"Etsel and Ruby" is Cold Cave's first release on What's Your Rupture?. The 12" single features three new Cold Cave tracks including "Love Comes Close", "Concrete Crushes" and "Heaven Was Full". This is scuzzy, dissonant, retro-futurist pop at its best. Insightful and often hyperbolic lyrics about love, loss and brass knuckles compliment and expand our understanding of Cold Cave's aesthetic. Both make-out music for Reagan babies and meditations on the limits of lust, "Etsel and Ruby" is a complete musical statement.

Here's what Insound has to say:
Cold Cave songs are about freedom unaffected, indifferent, in love. Close in spirit to Erasure's A Little Respect, Middle Of the Road's Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep and Strawberry Switchblade's Since Yesterday. From Cold Cave's infancy sexual identity and oblique existentialism have been expressed through biting lyrics and electronic minimalism. Rarely has the human condition been exposed so brazenly as in "Sex Ads." Melodies, noise and rhythms clash as stories from below the surface are retold.

From the demo LP Coma Potion, which featured a rugged stripped down distortion, to the suggestive Electronic Dreams tour cassette. Cold Cave has developed its own brand of genre defying electronic music, without ever betraying its dark roots. Love and pornography, Industrial music and traditionalism, poetry and profanity all mix together in a hedonistic, cocktail of nihilistic nights and mournful mornings.
