Southern California’s favourite denizens of dreamy distortion, COLD GAWD, dropped their sophomore masterpiece, ‘I’ll Drown On This Earth,’ last August via Dais Records—and it’s nothing short of a beautiful sonic meltdown. Imagine the sweetest, most sorrowful love songs wrapped in towering waves of fuzz and reverie: that’s the vibe they’ve perfected.
After wrapping up a handful of hometown shows to close out 2024, COLD GAWD are gearing up to bring those swooning riffs back on the road. This summer, they’ll team up with Belgium’s shoegaze dreamers New Moon for a U.S. run that kicks off July 22. Mark your calendars: tickets hit the usual outlets on Friday, April 25.
What makes COLD GAWD stand out isn’t just their mastery of reverb and feedback—it’s how they chart new territory when you least expect it. ‘I’ll Drown On This Earth’ is packed with moments of raw escape and unexpected revelation, all born from that perfect collision of stacked amps and raw emotion. Trust us, you’ll want to feel this one live.
