Hannah Jocelyn
Summary
Cold Court, a Philadelphia band led by siblings Mini Serrano and Jojo Lavina-Maldonado, evolved from a post-punk sound (influenced by Black Midi and Geese) into a genre-blending project that incorporates heavy Ableton production, distortion, and a chaotic, multi-genre aesthetic. The article reviews their album, highlighting their shift from studio recordings to increasingly blown-out, experimental electronic sounds that defy easy categorization.
