On The Gloss, Cola craft taut, angular art-rock that’s as precise as it is evocative. Tim Darcy’s sharp songwriting, paired with Ben Stidworthy’s rubbery basslines and Evan Cartwright’s deft percussion, creates a sound that’s sleek yet urgent.
With nods to post-punk greats like Television, the Montreal trio’s sophomore effort balances brighter textures with their trademark tension, proving that Cola is no side project — it’s a thrilling continuation of Darcy’s ever-evolving musical legacy.
