Former Ought members Tim Darcy and Ben Stidworthy have linked with U.S. Girls/The Weather Station drummer Evan Cartwright to become a new band called Cola.
They will released their debut album together, Deep in View, on May 20 via Fire Talk Records. Coinciding with the recent announcement, the band has shared the new song "So Excited," which is accompanied by a video.
"We would talk about this track as the ‘capstone’ of the Cola record," says Darcy. "It was that song that we would warm up with and get tight on since it was one of the first to really come together; plus, it’s fun to play."
Darcy continues: "There are Cola songs of mine that predate this one, but this was the one I was working on when Ben told me he was going to come back from grad school and we talked about jamming together. It clicked when we played it out with Evan and from there we decided to work on songs for a new project."
