Cold Court: The Philadelphia Siblings Blending Genres into Chaotic, Distorted Sound
By
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 act that incorporates heavy Ableton production, distortion, and a chaotic mix of styles. Their music now defies easy categorization, described as sounding like "all genres and eras at once."

It's much harder to sound like several genres playing at once, as Philly act Cold Court do.
Now they sound like the suit from A Scanner Darkly if it were a band: all genres and eras.
