I know you asked this of dad, but I don't think he ever got back to you, so I figured I'd chime in. My cousin called it fairly straightforward post-punk, and it's definitely conservative in its aims and composition. It's quite rhythmically focused and kinda spiky with the guitar. I've been enjoying it myself, as I was a fan of Ought, the band that two of Cola used to be in, but also because I find it nestles nicely into my pleasure centers. It doesn't try to do anything grand, and I don't really want it to.

Steve Shelley and Lee Ranaldo, members of key Horsegirl influence Sonic Youth, contribute to a pair of the most thrilling tracks, the tumbling, flanging noise-pop stunner “Beautiful Song” (truth in advertising) and the triumphantly fuzzed-out closer “Billy.”
