Cold Showers streams debut record

Cold Showers, a band formed in Los Angeles, CA in 2010, fuses the brash power of the shoegazers with the smoky compulsions of the no-wavers -- Cold Showers would fit comfortably within the dusty catalog of Factory Records, if only for an industrial subtlety in terms of electronics and acoustics. A  piston-precision rhythm section drives all these loud, crafty pop songs. This is the pervasive pop mode against which Cold Showers cast themselves, but they aren't fired in steel to the dark side. Founding members Jonathan Weinberg, Jessie Clavin, Brian Davila, Renee Adams and Chris King, added since, have a lumbering, sometimes terrifying beast of a band -- we'd be remiss not to follow its caustic, addictive trek.

To celebrate the release of their debut LP Love and Regret, the band is streaming the album in it's entirety. Check it out, along with what the press has been saying about Love and Regret, below.

"I listen to this and all I can think about are starry night skies and motorcycles in the desert and razor blades and smooching hot babes in the bathtub between cigarette puffs and, like, really cool boots and Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys and, honestly, I give this an A-fucking-plus." - Vice

"honest and open and simple (in a good way!)" - Sam Hockley-Smith, The Fader

"Cold Showers, with their magical throwback transfigurations, have carved out something fine." - Nick Freed, Consequence of Sound
