Cold Cave was founded in 2007 by Wesley Eisold, vocalist of hardcore groups American Nightmare (briefly known as Give Up the Ghost), Some Girls, and Heartworm Press founder. Cold Cave represents Eisold's first venture into instrumentation. Eisold was born with one hand which led him to electronic music.
The Chicago Sun-Times wrote that Cold Cave "takes mid-'80s synth pop (New Order, OMD) and moves it forward — just beyond the reach of nostalgia... scratching it up, getting it dirty, just around the edges." Journalists have drawn further comparisons to Joy Division, the Sisters of Mercy, and Nine Inch Nails. Cold Cave has also been associated with the dark wave and noise music genres.
