Altered Zones

Blue Suicide, Coma Cinema's forthcoming full-length, is both an upper and a downer. Mat Cothran's warbling and monotone discourse is front-and-center on most of the songs, backed by a carousel of synth and drums that recalls pre-Apologies Wolf Parade. One of the most "upbeat" songs in the Colombia, SC artist's repertoire, "Whatevering", below, is nonetheless a two-and-a-half minute ode to desolation and self-deprecation.
