The Crushed Monocle Podcast is where Jon and Coop talk about stuff. ALL the stuff! Music, movies, shows, life, or whatever. Naturally, they will mispronounce names, exhibit crippling self-awareness, and never fail to profess their love for the 1995 masterpiece, Showgirls. Regardless of the topics of discussion, Jon and Coop always recommend the music you should be listening to. This is why you must subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 38 – Cola
In the 38th episode of Crushed Monocle Podcast, Jon and Coop are joined by Cola!
From the ashes of the Montreal band Ought, Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy teamed up with Evan Cartwright to form Cola. Combining elements of post-punk, alt-rock, and jazz-adjacent genres, Cola tightens up their musicianship to put the experimental emphasis on lyrics and performance. To discuss their sophomore release, The Gloss, Tim and Evan stop by as well as a brief appearance by Tim’s brand new puppy!
In addition to The Gloss, Jon, Coop, Evan, and Tim also talk about:
- How band dynamics have changed between album releases.
- The not-so-sophomore slump.
- Recording a guitar album without the obnoxious guitar album tropes.
- How influences shape musicianship without being apparent.
- The early stages of the next Cola record.
