Label: Heartworm Reissued 7/28/2023, Originally released 2009 Cremations is a collection of early demo/live/and unreleased tracks from COLD CAVE. From the projects isolated beginnings to the recent full band lineup the development of this singular musical entity is documented here in its icy electronic glory. 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. 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. Cremations includes the debut release demo LP Coma Potion, which featured a rugged stripped down distortion, the first 7" Painted Nails, the Electronic Dreams tour cassette and more. Remastered and cut by BOB WESTON at Chicago Mastering Service. This version also includes a lyric sheet for the first time. Pressed on clear with heavy black smoke vinyl.
