Best of 2011 #7: Cold Cave - Cherish the Light Years

Cold Cave's last album, 2009's Love Comes Close, was one of my favourite albums of that year. This past year's Cherish the Light Years was another good outing for this band, perhaps a step or two behind Love Comes Close, but engaging nonetheless. Whereas Love Comes Close was more textured and more electronic based, Cherish the Light Years is more rock and pop based. The electronics are a bit more subdued, in favour of more guitars and vocal styles. What's more is that the band sounds a bit more like a band and less like a side project. Hopefully, Cold Cave will continue to blossom and make more great music.
