Cola Share New Track "Water Table", In Conversation with Rolling Stone
In February, Cola, the new project from former Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy and US Girls/The Weather Station drummer Evan Cartwright, announced their debut LP. Entitled Deep In View, the album is due out May 20th on Fire Talk and has generated a great deal of excitement already, earning praise from outlets like Pitchfork, NPR, FADER, Stereogum, Uproxx, Paste, BrooklynVegan, Consequence, Clash, NME and Rolling Stone who described their sound as being "like a streamlined version of Ought" and highlighted the track's "gorgeously obsessive guitar groove." Today, the band have given their first interview as a band, speaking to Rolling Stone about their new LP in an Artist You Need To Know feature, and are sharing a new single from the LP, a track called "Water Table".
"'Water Table' came from some experiments with bass chords," Stidworthy explains. "The guitar parts of the verse was an attempt to write something Tim would come up with and basically wrote itself. The guitar in the chorus was originally a harp sample played on a keyboard, which is why the working title was Dark Harp. It was the last song I wrote for the record at a moment when we were pretty sure what would end up on the record. I felt like the record needed the emotional note of a song like Water Table and the track flowed out of me. Tim sent it back to me with lyrics the next day so I knew it was gonna work."
