over me - Austin Town Hall

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. Â Or, you could look at her most recent release Over Me with her current project, Cold Beat. Â 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. Â 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

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. Â This track from Cold Beat fills in pretty nicely as her new project, Â still kicking out those great guitar lines that serve as the background to her vocals. Â 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. Â 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.
