After more than a decade of existence, five studio albums, and a slew of EPs, it’s easy to imagine Helms Alee continuing on in perpetuity as one of those tightly-guarded artists with an extensive catalog of treasures just waiting for the uninitiated to discover the depths of their riches. But things are going to change with the release of their fifth album, Noctiluca, due out April 26 via Sargent House; the album continues Helms Alee’s tradition of blending girthy sludge riffs, deceptively clever compositions, lush instrumentation, and transcendental melodies into a potent standalone sound and proves why the band has rightfully stuck around all these years.

COLD CAVE CONQUER THE “PROMISED LAND”

As they prepare for a large-scale North American tour and close out their second sold-out show at Hollywood Forever Cemetery tonight, COLD CAVE have unveiled a new single. Titled “Promised Land,” the track was mixed by Chris Coady and mastered by Bob Weston, and showcases COLD CAVE at the peak of their powers; propulsive, synth-heavy darkwave that marries vocalist Wes Eisold’s signature stormy croon with Amy Lee’s lustrous and shimmery timbre. Check out the enigmatic new music video directed by Travis Shinn and Jeremy Danger on YouTube.
