2:54 - Cold Front

Creeping lo-fi pop from the Thurlow sisters that will get under your skin The enigmatically monikered 2:54 (named after their favourite moment in a Melvins song), are sisters Hannah and Colette Thurlow, wearers of leather jackets and sombre expressions -- and makers of some of the best lo-fi noise-pop around. They first emerged last May with their debut offering, Creeping, a swampy mix of guitar squall and soft harmonies. This was followed by the slower, meaner On a Wire, with its glowering basslines and “I will find you“ lyrics. New single Cold Front sees the duo hitting their stride, combining that chilling atmosphere to classic melodies, the guitars chiming over dramatic cymbal splashes and a gorgeous chorus that kicks in just as the guitars shift up a gear. It’s still gloomy, but this time you can dance to it.
