The New York electronic/industrial project Deaf Doula – formed by Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop, Human Impact) and Ev Gold (Cinema Cinema, GoJuMo) – releases its debut digital single “2057” today, October 29, 2025. The mastering was done by Carl Saff.
The artists describe the single as “exploring a near-future tension between bleakness and resolve.” Jim Coleman adds: “The future tripping / catastrophizing envisioned in ‘2057’ is rooted in our current reality … But there is a resoluteness present, a refusal to accept this reality as the only inevitable reality.” Ev Gold from his side says that “it just has an alluring, ice-cold aura … ‘2057’ is a dimly lit look at the near future; ambient, with a strong pulse to balance its calm and chaos.”
A live debut is announced for November 16 at Pianos (Lower East Side) as part of the Stereo Mandrax series. “The show will be a true electro-acoustic hybrid, a melding of instruments, voice, songs, and more improvised work,” says Jim. Ev adds, “Really excited to finally debut the project! Jim and I have been working on this material for over a year now, trading tracks and creating recordings in the studio. Moving forward with live activity is like flesh for the soul of the project to inhabit. Deaf Doula lives!”
