Cremations is a collection of early demo, live and unreleased tracks from Cold Cave. From the project's isolated broken industrial beginnings, the development of this singular musical entity is documented here in its icy electronic glory.
Since Cold Cave's infancy, oblique existentialism has been expressed through biting lyrics and electronic minimalism. Melodies, noise and rhythms clash as stories from below the surface are retold, with poetry and profanity mixing together in a hedonistic cocktail of nihilistic nights and mournful mornings.
Cremations includes the debut release demo LP Coma Potion, which featured a rugged stripped down distortion, the first 7" Painted Nails, the Electronic Dreams tour cassette and more. This version also includes a lyric sheet for the first time.
Remastered and cut by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service.
Includes unlimited streaming of Cremations
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
