Favoriting June 17, 2015: I'm back! Back in the New Jersey Groove! With a live set from COLD BEAT!

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!



San Francisco's Cold Beat was started by Hannah Lew as an outlet for songs she'd been working on while playing in Grass Widow, but "didn't feel like Grass Widow songs." With that band on unannounced and indefinite hiatus, Lew completed those songs and continued writing on her own, releasing an EP in 2013 and the full-length album Over Me (Crime On The Moon) last year. Reviewers struggled to put the album's sound in a familiar box, describing it variously as "surf-rock," "post-punk," "punkish," "poppy" and (gasp) "new wave." Listen to their live set and decide for yourself!

Thanks Jake. i never heard of that.
...yes P-90. i never realized! the lead is chopped up and the beat is different; and i never heard the rhythm git in there until within the last couple months.
-maybe if i heard it first in the context of a rap song i'd have known it! but as bed music,it's a piece of a song made of pieces of a song....'never even crossed my mind!

@coel.: This is how the value of a human being is judged here - by their ability to recognize 'American Woman' in a sample...
  11:47pm
P-90:

@coel haha not a fail, just relates to an interesting question of pattern recognition- how far can you take an abstraction from something familiar before it's no longer recognized as familiar?

Always referring to the film 'Copyright Criminals' about samples; how recognizable they make the sample is the game exactly...
  11:55pm

Thanks for that, we should keep Claw aground a while longer.
Maybe being ancient enough to have The Guess Who imprinted in your circuits by early adolescence is a factor here...
