Cola "The Gloss" [Black in Orange vinyl]

A continuation of the "jittery post-punk" (FADER) and "minimalist rock" (CLASH) of their debut, 'Deep in View', "Pallor Tricks" offers a cranky dissonance, anchored by intuitive percussion and propelled by Tim Darcy's incisive songwriting ("My taste is avant-poor"). It's a kinetic piece of post-punk, cementing Cola at the forefront of "a new kind of art-rock deliverance" (Rolling Stone).
