Interview by Parisa Eshrati

Upon meeting his wife and becoming a father, Cold Cave's Wesley Eisold fully surrendered himself to love. The shift in his personal life inspired his lyrics to bridge the gap from Cold Cave's previous themes of hopelessness and despair to acceptance and reconciliation of joy, all while staying rooted in the aloof, cold aesthetics of his music. In this interview, we discuss leaving behind the comforts of depression, evoking confidence through songwriting, and holding romanticized visions of love.

After feeling a disconnection with his music, German-Italian music composer and DJ David August took on a two year hiatus for self-meditation and discovery. Upon connecting more with his Italian roots and delving into the transcendental nature of art, David re-emerged with his most authentic and honest work to date. In this intimate interview, we discussed the inner workings of both the ambient chant#1 project and the full-length D'Angelo LP, the process of setting aside ego to exist just for music, and ultimately, how to find your own truth.
