$75.00
Experimental, Dark Wave, Dark Ambient, Noise, Electronic; Vinyl LP – Ex Used condition
When Cold Cave embarked on their first UK tour in 2009 one of the most sought after pieces of merchandise was an exclusive split release with Prurient limited to just 100 copies on Cassette. Hospital Productions have mercifully pressed up the tracks from the tape – plus one additional cut exclusive to this LP to satisfy the vinyl vulture’s appetite. In stark comparison to the glam-electro melancholy of ‘Love Comes Close’, this is a collection of incredible bleak and isolated dark ambience, almost entirely beat-less (except for one short passage laced with doomy kicks) where vocals are noticeably absent too, save a shadowy undertone of malnourished groans and gloomy exhortations. The mood is oppressively dystopian and depressed, which should be taken as a warning to anyone on the brink of it!
