Cold Cave – Life Magazine

By Craig Smith • Feb 3rd, 2010 • Category: Webcut of the Week

Sultry New York electro-pop quartet Cold Cave are set to tour Europe this May, beginning their journey at the Matt Groening-curated ATP Festival and finishing up at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound festival. To coincide Matador Records are to release Cold Cave live favourite ‘Life Magazine’ as a 12″ featuring a number of high profile guest remixes. The video clip itself is something of a burlesque make-up tutorial as if filmed by Andy Warhol, but it’s actually directed by Aaron Brown and Ben Chappell (Focus Creeps) and stars Marti Domination, star of Matthew Barney’s ‘Cremaster’ (she played Goodyear) and main protagonist on the cover sleeve of Cold Cave’s Love Come Close album.

• The Too Pure Singles Club returns in 2012 with a bang (or is that a rattle) with the sound of Icelandic mantra magicians Dead Skeletons. For the uninitiated, Dead Skeletons came into existence in 2008 when band member Jon Saamunder needed music for an art installation in the Reykjavik Art Museum. Enlisting the help of friends Henrik Bjornsson and Ryan Carlson Van Kriedt the trio penned the songs which would eventually become the Dead Magick album, a 72 minute, 12 song journey through space and time, life and death. “Om Mani Peme Hung” is the sound of Neu! on a meditation retreat engaging in a spiritual hypno-chant. Now repeat after me… Om Mani Peme Hung, Om Mani Peme Hung, Om Mani Peme Hung… (subscribe to the Too Pure Singles Club here).
