' '
,: San Francisco band Cold Beat make their DFA debut with æMotherÆ, :,
: a collection of ten pop transmissions. :
:' ':
,: "Wound tight with an energy that ricochets from one song into :,
: the next, æMotherÆ was made while frontperson Hannah Lew :
:' (formerly of indie trio Grass Widow) was pregnant and ':
,: considering the chaotic conditions of the world she was bringing :,
: a new human into. If we consider æMotherÆ an artistic style :
:' guide through space and time, the framework Cold Beat provide ':
,: is overcast by design but focused in execution; locked-in drums :,
: and synths with choir-like melodies high above it all. :
:' ':
,: ôI found myself trying to describe our earth to a new human who :,
: had never been here,ö says Lew. ôIt was a bleak year to be :
:' pregnant, but I was simultaneously filled with so much love and ':
,: hope at the same time. I remember feeling a sense of wanting to :,
: show my whole range of self to this new person I was about to :
:' meet. In past albums, I sometimes held my artistic self in an ':
,: ethereal place, but I found myself wanting to be very much on :,
: this earth and grounded during the creation of this record.ö :
:' ':
,: The A-side of Mother presents the facts as we perceive them, :,
: while the B- side accelerates into the uncertain. Each of the :
:' first five track titles is one evocative word: the synths on ':
,: æPrismÆ slide against the motorik guitar riffs and the plaintive :,
: saxophone on æPaperÆ casts the Leonard Cohen-esque melody in a :
:' melancholy shadow; æGlovesÆ is a real mood, all drive. ':
,: Everything begins to unfurl from there. ôWill it be over if :,
: thereÆs no sound?ö Lew wonders on album standout æDouble Sided :
:' MirrorÆ and then ruminates ôit wonÆt be long until you find me ':
,: in the beyondö on the more upbeat æCrimes.Æ The early architects :,
: of these sonic settings - Eurythmics, The Human League, Depeche :
:' Mode - act as touchstones and inspiration. ':
,: :,
: One of the most prescient things æMotherÆ teaches is that :
:' existence will not be - and has not ever been - a solitary ':
,: experience. ôItÆs really the first album where the project felt :,
: more like a band,ö Lew says. ôIn a lot of ways, it feels like :
:' our first album.ö And though four albums (released on Dark ':
,: Entries and LewÆs own label Crime On The Moon) precede this one, :,
: æMotherÆ is Cold Beat at their most concentrated and :
:' crystalline. ItÆs an honest, forgiving and ultimately ':
,: optimistic team effort from a band busy being born, re-born and :,
: giving life." :
