Ahead of the release of their new album, Cost of Living Adjustment, this Friday (May 8), Cola have shared one more single, ‘Haveluck Country’. Following previous entries ‘Hedgesitting’ and ‘Conflagration Mindset’, it comes paired with a music video helmed by Camille Anais Semprez and Cedar Teionietathe Jocks. Check it out below.
“We knew from the get that we wanted to work with Camille Anais Semprez and Cedar Teionietathe Jocks again—the filmmaking duo who crafted the video for ‘So Excited’ and kicked off our debut album so brilliantly,” the band said in a statement. “They took Tim to a western movie set in the deep desert, abandoned of activity in the midnight hours.
“It was the perfect setting to investigate the themes of the song,” they continued “What does it mean to live in the Haveluck Country anyways? The ‘red right hand’ could be of a gunslinger swinging a gun arm out in earnest—or pure camp. A metaphor for an archaic political climate. Who needs vaccines anyways? Take your vitamins. Is the sun perhaps setting on the old west? Is the pathetic and imaginary political promise of the ‘shining city on the hill’ vacant and empty as a western saloon façade??”
