coldfeet consists of two members lori fine and watusi. lori, the
daughter of an american clinical psychologist father and japanese
"koto" player mother, writes most of the music and lyrics, while
watusi, a japanese bass player / producer, does most the
programming and arrangements. the combination of these two artists
creates the unique and original world of coldfeet.
lori, vocalist and songwriter, was born in oregon. she grew up
listening to all kinds of music in a music-loving family, and got
involved in bands during her school years. after graduation she
started to work on her music career, making her living as a
part-time model. she spent her days composing songs, travelling to
visit family in hiroshima and new york. watusi, on the other hand,
had been playing as a member of the legendary live drum'n'bass
band, mushroom head in the dawn of the underground drum'n'bass
scene in tokyo. he became very interested in trip-hop from bristol
and what most impressed him were tracks like "universal love" by 4
hero and "inner city life" by goldie, which led him to want to
produce drum'n'bass tracks with a female vocalist. at the same
time, based at rinky dink studio in tokyo, he had produced many
domestic/international artists as a producer/arranger. this work
brought him to new york frequently, where he was introduced to
lori by a mutual friend. it didn't take long until they started
working together.
at the studio in tokyo, they started making demos, and by the end
of 1996, they had finished three tracks, "pussyfoot", "jailbait",
and "plastic emotion". the tracks got good reactions from
musicians and djs, which made lori decide to move to and base
herself in tokyo. watusi established his label, brickwall, to
release coldfeet's own products. but it took six months to put out
1000 copies because he had to take care of everything such as
manufacturing and distribution. finally in december 1997, the
4-track 12" vinyl "coldfeet" by watusi featuring lori fine was
released, which led them further:
the world-level quality of coldfeet got great reactions and, in
the beginning of 1998, led them to sign with office one/sony music
as coldfeet for world-wide distribution. making their own imprint,
brickwall records, at office one/sony music, coldfeet has just
started to target the international market.
with their incredible creativity, they produced about 20 original
tracks. in march 1998, they flew to new york to finish their first
major 5-track ep, "pussyfoot". this ep includes the cover version
of "blue velvet" as their tribute to david lynch, whose films have
inspired them. at the same time, they also produced a drum'n'bass
remix featuring lori's vocals of a track from the british
drum'n'bass label, hospital. this remix is featured in the
hospital remix album, "plastic surgery", out in april 1998, along
with mixes by yasuharu konishi, fantastic plastic machine, silent
poets, etc. contributing "pussyfoot" to the drum'n'bass classic
compilation, "future soul 002" in may, coldfeet made a glorious
debut followed by a short live tour in tokyo, osaka, and fukuoka.
the songs performed live were "pussyfoot", "all for myself",
"ripple", and "scoff at the hype", leaving the audience stunned
and speechless from an innovative aura radiating from the stage,
that no one had ever seen in the drum'n'bass scene.
