Cold Cave Cherish - The Light Years

Released in 2010 on Matador Records, Cherish The Light Years is Cold Cave’s bold leap into dark stadium pop — an album where post-punk intensity collides with melodic noise, industrial beats, Italo dance euphoria, and moments of pure pop bliss.

Recorded at Electric Lady and DFA’s Plantain Studios in NYC, Cherish channels the drama of Siouxsie and the Banshees, the pulse of early Depeche Mode, and the emotional gravity of love, regret, triumph, and failure. With tracks like “Confetti,” “The Great Pan Is Dead,” “Underworld USA,” and “Villains of the Moon,” Cold Cave emerged in a moment with no obvious scene, forging a sound and space entirely their own.
