Gloss, apparently. Never basic, the lyrics reward repeated listening for deeper meanings. David Berman's poetry-via-garage light pennings are an inspiration, as equally so are the lighter side of UK first-wave New Wave and the Dunedin sound. The results are in the pudding: at times sparse and poetic, at others a thrilling, hook-laden good time, as with the cheeky romantic sketch of a one-night stand that is so overflowing with innuendo-cum-journalism talk that it almost teeters over into self-parody. But the results are the right combination of lightheartedness and sincerity. Romanticism is never far from laughter, and equally never far from righteous anger in the music of Cola: 'Pulling quotes now in the dark\/Our outlook is restrained\/Your tongue might weaken to be-fit your smile\/Til nothing ill remains.' 'nuff said. It's an album bursting with energy and wit and ideas-filled to the margins. Out June 14th 2024 on Fire Talk.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54454879322497,"sku":"2322684","price":27.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0634457173651.jpg?v=1751657603","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2322684","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
