Brave Exhibitions present COLA

*C.O.L.A. *is *sort of* a self-titled album. It’s an acronym for *Cost of Living Adjustment, *a fitting conceptual framework for the band’s third record. Why? Because *C.O.L.A. *considers, among other things, socialism vs. hell. It considers: rolling the dice of life. The eerie and sweet pangs that nostalgia can provoke. This is not new territory for band members Tim Darcy, Evan Cartwright, and Ben Stidworthy. It is, in Cartwright’s words “a deepening of what we’ve been doing.” *C.O.L.A. *is an intricate, beautiful, and sometimes strange record. It is the band’s most refined offering. A perfection of carefully honed aesthetic impulses.
