American freestyle blues vocalist (Alex Prusmack) and London techno producer (Lloyd Murphy) come together in Los Angeles to create THE COLD DELIVERY, a project reinventing the sounds of post-punk.
Music
Sometimes brash, sometimes subtle, The Cold Delivery's songs tell tales of night stalkers, young starlets who've fallen from grace and dangerous psychopaths, all to the accompaniment of clanking drum machines, burbling synths and cut up sound collages.
Method
The songs are roughly arranged and then the vocals are recorded as a improvisation. They are recorded once and once only, so what is heard in the final piece is a response to the arrangement the very first time it is heard. With this method, the actual moment of creation is captured, not just a well rehearsed performance.
EP01 by The Cold Delivery now available on iTune Music Store, Amazon and others.
"....then the vocals are recorded as a improvisation. They are recorded once and once only, so what is heard in the final piece is a response to the arrangement the very first time it is heard..."
even if the tunes were crap this would be interesting enough for me
I like the method and the tunes tho so gj

Christ, this is FANTASTIC stuff! Each track has a distinct vibe, but is obviously part of a unified ethos also. I especially love Hollywood Boulevard, classic and simple electro done dead right.
I can detect your stated influences which is no bad thing, and I'd add others like X Marks the Pedwalk, A Split Second, Massive Attack, Unkle etc. This is seriously impressive, so I'll begin alerting friends to it and I must get a copy of the ep asap.
The coolest post-punk electro sounds are often made by those whose lives were changed by what it all meant back in the day. Whether or not this applies here, the best compliment I can pay is that it sounds like it does.
