Wound tight with an energy that ricochets from one song into the next, Cold Beat's 'Mother' 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 'Mother' an artistic style guide through space and time, the framework Cold Beat provides is overcast by design but focused in execution, meaning locked-in drums and synths with choir-like melodies high above it all.
