This is my favorite album by Lycia. Lycia were a one of a kind project, the brainchild of Mike Vanportfleet, and later Tara Vanflower. The style of music is darkwave, an extremely moody and melencholy ambient form of goth music. Think if the Cure OD'd on downers, and you might come up with Lycia. It's dark and bleak, but in the album lies a sense of beauty. The compositions on Cold are amazing and hypnotic, letting the listener feel a sense of security in the dark music. Reverby guitars, ghostly whispered vocals, ethereal female vocals. Music is eerily slow and catchy with outstanding unique songwriting. Like the cover, This is a very bare and honest music - not intent on anything but relaying pure emotions.
