New Music: Conflagration Mindset

           

Last year, Tim Darcy, formerly of Ought and currently of Cola, was one of many musicians whose homes were destroyed in the LA wildfires. On Cola's new song "Conflagration Mindset," Darcy sings about robotically marching on while forces far beyond you have thrown your life into chaos: "A decent way to dress it up/ Cold beer in a hotel cup/ I’m alone, but I’ll gas the car/ In conflagration mindset." A stark and bleary post-punk song about stark and bleary situations. Here's what Darcy says about it: This track began as a wintry-cold synth and drum machine exploration that Evan sent around. 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.
