It's in the air, the scent of all the things you do
And I know that I want to do with you is gaze out
At the stars and lay with you any night.
Can I stay here for a few, then head out?
I'm hanging on to you red
I'm vapor drunk with you
How I wish that we were there right now.
I'm vapor drunk with you
I spit out, it only decays
I wish that it could replay
This is not a trip
But I feel it inside now
We talked for hours
Now we're floating
Shadows in the light
Red and Orange
I know you feel it too
Frown Clown
I'm so high
Please come down
Coffee Eyes
One last move away from the pool
I need to settle down these lingering departing thoughts
Hop onto Lake Shore Drive
And the waves shimmer on the summer sun
With you
At Promontory Point
It's two less hours away
At Promontory Point
It's two less hours away
She said that this was her Hyde spot
With a view and the towers in sight
Now our sky is smeared in pink
And It's blotches give us cloudy shapes
And the breeze
It blows
But her covers keep us nice and warm
Spilling red
There it goes
Watch the sunset drip away
With you
At Promontory Point
It's two less hours away
At Promontory Point
It's two less hours away
Hold my hand
We're melding two
Share a view
I'll see you soon
Throughout 2022 Old Coke gained traction from a set of impressively tight and high-octane live shows that saw them move from playing DIY generator gigs to iconic Chicago venues like Empty Bottle, Bottom Lounge, Sub T and Schubas with bands such as Ringo Deathstarr, Gleemer, They Are Gutting a Body of Water, and Slow Crush to name a few.
Their debut EP Sorted has already clocked praise from revered underground publications Cvlt Nation and New Noise Magazine who will be premiering the first single “Vapor Drunk” on April 13th.
“Seasonal” is their most emotionally charged and musically ambitious project to date. A journey that weaves between lovers and loss, where tracks such as ‘Coffee Eyes’ are about doing psychedelics with a girlfriend in lockdown, ‘Suntinged’ reflects on a California summer heartbreak, and ‘Vapor Drunk’ being a light love letter in song form”
The percussion on the EP was once again recorded by Joe Gac of the Chicago indie band Meat Wave, mixed by Zac Montez who’s worked with acts such as Cloakroom and Whirr, and mastered by Gleemer's Corey Coffman, who has recorded an impressive list of the West Coast shoegaze’s finest including Modern Color, Soft Blue Shimmer and Milly.
On percussion, drummer Ethan Toenjes beats away the nuanced fills with stylistic percussion at a feverish pace. Guitarist/vocalist Christopher Ruiz's loud and emotive songwriting riffs on future nostalgia, romance and human connection. At the same time, his melancholic vocals balance the big guitar tone and colourful chords with aggression and thrashiness found in heavier genres.
The name was inspired by bottles of Coke modified by contemporary Brazilian artist Cildo Meireles on display at the London Tate Modern that hid political statements on the bottles, one of which taught civilians how to make Molotov cocktails.
Their debut EP, "Sorted", echoed Old Coke's anarchic-inspired moniker by seeing the band's multi hyphenated talents run at full throttle."Seasonal" continues this along with the varied sonic range of shoegaze, dream pop, punk and noise rock, but this time with an emphasis on showcasing production quality that would have cost thousands back in the 90's. Old Coke has quickly evolved and leveled up their technically dynamic and energetic live performances in 2023, and it's clear with this release that they have no plans to stop. ~Tracy Kawalik
