Love Comes Close is the debut full-length from Philly/New York quartet Cold Cave. Following singles on Hospital Productions, Whats Your Rupture?, and Dais, as well as a comp of early material, Matador is now reissuing the instantly sold-out self-released album from August 2009. The warm, rich synth pop sounds are laced with equal measures of romance and nihilism. Somewhere in these realms of negative hiss and out-of-body bliss, there is a peak awaiting all who enter.

Singer/keyboardist/songwriter Wesley Eisold is joined by Caralee McElroy (ex-Xiu Xiu), Dominick Fernow (contemporary noise icon Prurient) and Sarah Lipstate (ex-Parts and Labor, Noveller). Eisold himself served time with hardcore punk legends American Nightmare/Give Up the Ghost and Some Girls. An addictive and remarkably self-assured debut.
