Cola consists of former Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy and Evan Cartwright (drummer with US Girls and The Weather Station). Their debut album, Deep In Viewreleased in 2022.
Darcy said of “Albatross” in a press release: “This song had a few lives before it took its final form. We played a much faster version at a later Deep in Viewing tours with different lyrics. When we finally got to the studio, we revisited Ben's original demo and decided to slow it down and bring back a heavier feel.
“Then I had a flash of inspiration and completely rewrote the lyrics, which center around 'an albatross' – which is a huge hindrance to completion. From there I started thinking about a horse race and maybe a trainer watching a slow-motion replay to try to identify what's wrong with an animal's stride, hence the refrain.”
The Gloss features “Bitter Melon,” a new song Cola shared in March via a lyric video. The single was also available as a flexi disc (accompanied by a zine) and was one of the songs of the week.
