Following their new path after the breakup of Ought, Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy together with Evan Cartwright (US Girls/The Weather Station) as Cola deliver So Excited, another engaging single and video, while they also announce their debut album, Deep In View, expected out via Fire Talk on May 20th, 2020.
A sharp post punk piece, So Excited feels like a contemplative and at the same time explosive listen, while it is also the song around which the new outfit began to develop.
"We would talk about this track as the ‘capstone’ of the Cola record," explains Tim Darcy. "It was that song that we would warm up with and get tight on since it was one of the first to really come together, plus it’s fun to play. There are Cola songs of mine that predate this one but this was the one I was working on when Ben told me he was going to come back from grad school and we talked about jamming together. It clicked when we played it out with Evan and from there we decided to work on songs for a new project."
"The first song Tim showed me, I had this special bassline which I had been playing at Ought soundchecks and was saving for the right moment," Ben Stidworthy adds. "It fit perfectly in the first phrase of the chorus and felt like it was a sign."
