Cost of Living Adjustment — Cola

Cola’s foundations were laid in the dying moments of Montreal post-punk outfit Ought, but across their first trio of studio albums, Tim Darcy, Ben Stidworthy, and Evan Cartwright have etched out a vision all their own. With Cost of Living Adjustment, their particular, percolating punk sound has taken on a fuller life— one that extends beyond its ostensible social and political critique to craft a concave image of tangible life, love, and death in the modern, industrialized world.
