The name of a band came accidentally.
Nicole was talking to a friend at work when she used to wait tables.
He was referring to someone as a “hot mess.. like hot and messy”.
She suggested that if the woman was a hot mess than she should be described as “cold and lovely”.
She went and wrote it down because she thought it would be a great band name. That's it!
According to the band, their music sounds like “broken hearts, bitterness and love”.
Besides,the band pull influence from The Cure, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvery, Fleetwood Mac.
But, at the same time, when they are about to record , all of them try to listen to a large variety of music so that they are not pigeon-holing themselves into one sound.
Recently, a few music bloggers have attributed the sound to being very atmospheric and dreamy.
If you would like to check out the music for yourself, the album is currently available as a digital download to pledgers.
Their album is available on iTunes,too.

Radio
The Cold and Lovely Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Young and sweet like mother made you
Everything frozen in ice
These motherfuckers just got wicked
Well I can't explain this little man
Taken over
Can't explain the way that I feel
Everyone got behind my back and broke it
'Cause it's my world
Everyone got twisted up
All your friends got behind my back
And broke it
'Cause it's my world
1, 2, 3 here I come with the wicked
Well I can't explain this little man
Taken over
Can't explain the way that I feel
You are the love I never found
The lyrics of The Cold and Lovely's song Radio seem to describe a sense of bitter betrayal and an overwhelming feeling of being taken over by some unknown force or emotion. The opening lines of the song express a sense of innocence that is being tainted by something wicked, and the singer seems to be overwhelmed by their emotions, unable to fully explain them. There is a clear sense of anger and frustration that runs throughout the lyrics, as the singer expresses the way they feel betrayed by those around them. The line "everyone got twisted up" suggests that there has been some sort of conflict or drama, and the singer feels like they have been left behind or forgotten.
The repetition of the phrase "it's my world" seems to reinforce the idea that the singer feels like they have been left out of something, or that they have been excluded from their own life. The repeated use of the phrase "can't explain" suggests that the singer is struggling to understand their own emotions and motivations, trapped in a cycle of frustration and confusion. The closing lines of the song suggest that the singer has finally found somebody who understands them, but there is a sense of bittersweetness to it, as though they are mourning the time they have lost.
Overall, the lyrics to Radio convey a sense of bitterness and frustration that will resonate with many listeners. The repetition of certain phrases and the use of imagery create a powerful and memorable image of someone struggling to come to terms with their own emotions and their place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
I can taste your innocence
I can sense your purity and naivety
Young and sweet like mother made you
You are innocent and sweet just like a mother would create
Everything frozen in ice
Everything seems to be frozen and unchanging
These motherfuckers just got wicked
These bad people have just become evil
Well I can't explain this little man
I can't understand this inner voice or urge I have
Taken over
It has taken control of me
Can't explain the way that I feel
I can't describe this emotion I am experiencing
Everyone got twisted up
Everyone has become distorted or confused
Everyone got behind my back and broke it
Everyone turned against me and betrayed me
'Cause it's my world
It's my domain or my life
All your friends got behind my back
Your companions turned against me
And broke it
And they destroyed my world
1, 2, 3 here I come with the wicked
I am coming with evil intentions
You are the love I never found
You are the love that has been absent in my life
