Cold Cave - Life Magazine Remixes Instores June 29th
Following on from debut album Love Comes Close (“a piece of spectral, spectacular electronic pop” Guardian), New York’s Cold Cave release an EP of remixes for ‘Life Magazine’ as their new single.
A live favourite, ‘Life Magazine’ sees Caralee McElroy’s vocals take centre stage beside a maelstrom of pulsating beats. The accompanying remixes illustrate the core elements that make the band – the dichotomy of leftfield noise and dancefloor pop sensibilities.
The A-side features a remix from legendary producer Arthur Baker (Afrika Bambaataa, New Order) whose efforts transform ‘Life Magazine’ into an epic, hard-hitting proposition poised to ignite many a dancefloor. DJ duo Optimo, whose notorious Glaswegian club night closed recently, provide the Espacio remix.
The more outré B-side contains re-workings from minimal techno mastermind Pantha Du Prince and the noise artist Prurient (aka Cold Cave’s Dominick Fernow).
Cold Cave embarks on a short tour to coincide with the release of Life Magazine, with confirmed Canadian dates June 19th Toronto (Wrongbar) and June 20 Montréal (Le Belmont).

“Multi-instrumentalist Caralee McElroy steals the show on solo “Life Magazine”. Cooing brightly over a pounding, four-on-the-floor dance beat and heavily distorted keys, she is a ray of poppy sunshine.” – Georgia Straight
“Synth-pop, post punk, new wave, atmospheric industrial— all these references, which came and went and were fashionable again a half-decade ago, somehow manage to feel fresh here. It’s probably because the songs on Love Comes Close are consistently catchy and well constructed.” – Pitchfork
