Canadian trio Cola have announced North American and UK/EU dates in support of their forthcoming third album Cost of Living Adjustment. Things kick off July 8 in Toronto and then dip into the US East Coast before wrapping in Montreal on July 24. The UK/EU tour kicks off in Paris on October 28 and all dates are listed below.
There are two NYC shows: TV Eye on July 17 and Night Club 101 on July 18. Tickets for all dates go on sale Friday, March 20 at 10 AM local time.
Cost of Living Adjustment is out May 8 and they’ve just shared a new song from it, “Conflagration Mindset.” With it’s discordant guitars and melodic bassline, Sonic Youth and Pavement come to mind. “This track began as a wintry-cold synth and drum machine exploration that Evan sent around,” says singer/guitarist Tim Darcy. “Ben and I were hanging out at his apartment and were immediately taken with it and started messing around with finding ways to play aspects of his synth part on bass and guitar, a fun challenge we continued to explore even in the studio as we played with blending the synthetic and live versions of the track. Most of the lyrics on this track were written after I experienced a house fire during the wildfires in LA last year. The phrase ‘Conflagration Mindset’ became a jumping off point for one of the more personal songs on this record, though I certainly pulled from an array of experiences. When you go through something like that, people come out of the woodwork and share their stories with you. I learned a lot about house fires in general and the way they can reshape lives and whole communities. Because of that it’s really a song about the nature of loss in general.”
