Cold Cave stay in perpetual motion with the announcement of a West Coast tour in February of 2026. In tow will be Sydney’s Buzz Kull who’ve recently signed with Wes Eisold’s Heartworm Press for the next LP. The creative project of Marc Dwyer, Buzz Kull transcends the archetypal boundaries of darkwave— a connexus linking pop sensibilities with spectral, foreboding emotional states that go beyond the circumstantial. A shadowplay of nauseating synth lines and downcast, pounding drum machines that conjure up a desolate void.
Also on the tour is Berlin-born artist Rosa Anschütz who recently released her new album Sabbatical via Heartworm Press. Swapping pulsing club beats for a 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. The stripped-back arrangement foregrounds Anschütz’s arresting voice, carrying lyrics that feel both prophetic and personal.
With Sabbatical, Rosa Anschütz emerges as one of the most compelling avant-garde voices of her generation… an artist unafraid to dismantle genre, geography, or expectation. The album is a bold reinvention and a testament to the patience and precision of a singular creative vision. Today, Anschütz shares 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 the 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.
