What they're saying: From J. Edward Keyes’ review on Bandcamp Daily: Mother looks to the ‘80s for inspiration, jettisoning the wiry, guitar-led post-punk that defined early outings like Over Me and Into Thin Air in favor of big, sighing, robotic electronics that—tonally and texturally—land directly in line with albums like Replicas and Dazzle Ships.” Treble Zine calls the record “gripping, replayable”, and Boomkat says it is “overcast by design but focused in execution; locked-in drums and synths with choir-like melodies high above it all.”

What we say: The 80s vibe is strong, we call it somewhere between Human League and OMD. We love this sound and Cold Beat is doing it perfectly!
