**AWOOGA** New Coma Cinema Alert.

"Burn A Church" is the second single off the forthcoming Posthumous Release, and just like the first single, "Satan Made A Mansion," it's a study in contrast—the bleak, broken imagery slowly fading to the background as the bright, catchy hook shines its way through the cracks. This record is great, and you can finally pre-order it on vinyl via Fork and Spoon Records here.

From the little corner of the 'Net that Gregg and I inhabit so frequently, Mat Cothran is the highest order of celebrity. Over the last several years, he's released some of the world's most perfect (and most tragically underappreciated) pop songs as either Coma Cinema, Gremlins, or Elvis Depressedly—whose holo pleasures  hit the virtual shelves of Bandcamp today. 

Cothran lends himself easily to hyperbole, so I'll try to keep it #based for a minute: holo pleasures is the most mature Elvis Depressedly release to date. It's the first time he's written alongside a full band; and whether because of that or not, the technical instrumentation is fuller and more involved—I'd go so far as to call it "smooth" and "lush." Lyrically he's always operated on a plane higher than most, but now he sounds less beholden to his id, and more capable than ever to contextualize it. This record is great.
