Cold Hands

Article summary

Cold Hands is the debut studio album by American rock band Boss Hog, released on December 2, 1990, through Amphetamine Reptile Records. The band recorded the album at Soundscape in New York City and Steve Albini's place in Chicago with their revolving-door "All-Stars" lineup, led by vocalist Cristina Martinez and guitarist and vocalist Jon Spencer and featuring guitarists Kurt Wolf, Jerry Teel, bassist Pete Shore and drummer Charlie Ondras. It is a punk rock, grunge, garage rock, noise rock and punk blues album incorporating blues and industrial influences whilst experimenting with samples, reversed tape loops, and noise. Cold Hands received mixed reviews from critics, who commented on its sound and style; whilst some considered it an improvement over Martinez's and Spencer's previous band Pussy Galore and Boss Hog's debut extended play (EP) Drinkin' Lechin' & Lyin' (1989), others criticized its pacing and considered it self-indulgent. Boss Hog embarked on a tour of Europe in support of the album in early 1991.
