The World Wants You to Listen to Cold Beat

August 17, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I really like this new Cold Beat single; I’m hooked on the synth propulsion that opens up the song. But, like all things associated with Hannah Lew, there’s this beautiful harmony working beneath, even if there’s a touch of sterility in the song’s craft. I’ve always been a fan of Lew’s new project, but I think when Into the Air gets a release, it’s going to be the one that really breaks through to a larger audience…perhaps even encouraging them to go back the oft-overlooked Grass Widow. Look for the new LP on September 4th via Crime on the Moon.

Fresh Tune from Cold Beat

July 9, 2015 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Those of you who’ve missed out on the work of Hannah Lew, please go back in time and visit Grass Widow. Or, you could look at her most recent release Over Me with her current project, Cold Beat. She’s started her own label, and she’ll be releasing the group’s second album, Into the Air, which takes on a different thematic perspective this time around. Interestingly, it seems that Lew is writing of her struggles to survive in San Francisco, despite changes to the city’s cultura landscape; that’s something that seemingly rings true to with a lot of large cities of late. Give a listen, and look for the album on September 4th via Crime on the Moon.

Fall In Love with Cold Beat

April 24, 2014 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I’ll be the first to admit that I was pretty floored by the last Grass Widow effort, so since their departure, I’ve been keeping an eye on what Hannah Lew has been working on. This track from Cold Beat fills in pretty nicely as her new project, still kicking out those great guitar lines that serve as the background to her vocals. Personally, I love how the vocals work atop each other here; it’s like one person is singing while the rest are working in juxtaposition, yet it all fits nicely. If you’re going on this song alone, sounds like the band’s debut, Over Me, won’t be too far removed from what Lew’s done before (and I mean that in a good way); the record hits on July via Crime on the Moon.
