Cola Release Pallor Tricks + Announce The Gloss
One had to know that Cola was just around the corner from a new release, as they’ve had several singles pop up as of late. And indeed, yesterday we found out that The Gloss is coming our way very soon; the announcement came with a brand new single, and one that certainly illustrates the fascinating structure of the band’s songwriting. Throughout the opening minutes and into its core, “Pallor Tricks” sees to work against itself sonically, with guitar lines jutting against one another like puzzle pieces you can’t force to fit. Tim Darcy settles it down in the verses, though that anxiety-inducing aura still hangs over your head. Mild melodies seep into the chorus via Darcy, perhaps one of his best parlor tricks as he’s able to turn his indifference into something very pop forward. The Gloss is out June 14th via Fire Talk Records.
