From the strobelit metamorphosis of Jesse Locke:
From the womb to the tomb, brothers Simon and Josh Frank are united by bonds both synthetic and familial. Fused together as electro-creep two-piece Hot & Cold, they shudder and scuttle like goth insects under strobelight. This six-song c20 from Beijing’s Rose Mansion Analog re-wires Martin Rev fuzztones with pulsating electronics, classic Hooky basslines and abrasive echo vox. Another essential release from this clan. - Weird Canada

Bio
Hot & Cold is equally likely to push a single note out of a dying keyboard for minutes, or set into an honest-to-god pop song that echoes through your mind days later. Brothers Josh and Simon Frank juggle bass, keyboards, drum machines and vocal chants to create a strange blend that channels their unusual upbringing across Asia. Equally inspired by sounds from American garages, German communes and South Asian temples, it's music for stepping onto the tarmac, tasting acrid pollution, and wandering around a decaying, corroded metropolis—one you love but can never call your own.
