Review: Cola's 'The Gloss' Review
singer-guitarist Tim Darcy informs us on the Montreal post-punk band’s second album. Cola have their own fun little take on modern alienation. Laying bright, bracing guitars over taut, tetchy, minimalist drums and bass, their sound brings to mind Wire and the very earliest Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen. Yet where those bands had the decaying post-industrial England of the 1970s as a backdrop, Cola are products of our own more ambiently dehumanized times.
But Cola are too taken with their own cutting, headlong guitar racket to get bogged down in apathy or dejection, and Darcy has a wry, self-interrogating attitude towards his own opaque bellyaching. “Quips don’t come out right but the meaning’s true,” he mumbles against the spartan drift of “Nice Try.” Cola have their own unique way of turning their empty spaces into seas of possibility.
