Gloss, apparently. Never basic, the lyrics reward repeated listening for deeper meanings. David Berman's poetry-via-garage light pennings are an inspiration, as equally so are the lighter side of UK frst-waveNew Wave and the Dunedin sound. The results are in the pudding: at times sparse and poetic, at others a thrilling, hook-laden good time, as with the cheeky romantic sketch of a one-night stand that is so overfowing with innuendo-cum-journalism talk that it almost teeters over into self-parody. But the results are the right combination of lightheartedness and sincerity. Romanticism is never far from laughter, and equally never far from righteous anger in the music of Cola: \"Pulling quotes now in the dark\/ Our outlook is restrained\/ Your tongue might weaken to be- ft your smile\/ Til nothing ill remains.\" 'nuff said. It's an album bursting with energy and wit and ideas-flled to the margins.
