Locked In to a Steady Groove

Cost of Living Adjustment moves with a steady pulse, built on interlocking guitar lines and a rhythm section that keeps everything grounded. The songs lean on repetition, letting small changes in timing and phrasing carry the momentum forward. Vocals stay understated, sitting alongside the instruments instead of leading them.

There’s a sense of routine in the writing, with lyrics that circle around observation, habit, and daily friction. The record holds a consistent tone from start to finish, giving it a clear identity without chasing variation for its own sake. It lands as a focused, self-contained release that trusts its core ideas.

A Clear Sense of Direction

The album has drawn attention for its consistency and sense of direction, with listeners responding to how tightly the band holds its sound together. It strengthens Cola’s position within post-punk circles, showing a group that knows what it wants to do and sticks with it.

The release keeps Cola in the conversation around guitar-driven music, supported by a style that feels deliberate and sustained across the full record.
