Cold Beat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cold Beat is an American synth-pop band founded in 2013 by Hannah Lew, formerly the bassist and co-vocalist of Grass Widow.[1][2] Named after a song by the British post-punk group The Sound, the project began as a solo vehicle for songs Lew had written that did not fit Grass Widow's collaborative aesthetic, and evolved into a four-piece band.[3] Cold Beat has released five studio albums and two EPs on Crime on the Moon (Lew's own label), Dark Entries Records, DFA Records, and Like LTD.[4][5]
Mother (2020) was recorded when Lew was pregnant.[6] A review in Treble described it as "dream pop," with an electronic tone that goes well with Lew's "chilly vocal delivery."[7]
