Cold Cave stay in perpetual motion with the announcement of a West Coast tour in February 2026. In tow will be Sydney’s Buzz Kull, who recently signed with Wes Eisold’s Heartworm Press for their next LP. The creative project of Marc Dwyer, Buzz Kull transcends the archetypal boundaries of darkwave, linking pop sensibilities with spectral, foreboding emotional states that go beyond the circumstantial. Also on the tour is Berlin-born artist Rosa Anschütz, who recently released her album ‘Sabbatical’ via Heartworm Press. Swapping pulsing club beats for raw, cinematic intimacy, Anschütz channels the spectral beauty of Moon Pix-era Cat Power, the mystique of Nico, and the experimental clarity of Björk and Dead Can Dance. Anschütz has shared a new music video for ‘Sabbatical’ album single “Plaster Copy.”
Formed in 2007 by Wesley Eisold, Cold Cave jump started and popularized the resurgence in modern synth and darkwave genres after releasing seminal and influential albums, and were subsequently invited to tour with Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, The Cult and The Jesus and Mary Chain along with collaborations and performances with legends Genesis P-Orridge and Mark Lanegan. Eisold and his partner Amy Lee’s mix of celebrated poetry and urgent romantic new wave grants Cold Cave a rare 100% DIY approach to all aspects of their universe, producing and releasing their own music, involved directly with their fans and curating by their own rules.
