February 9, 2024

On Imitation of War, songwriter and guitarist Kayla Cohen advances Itasca into rockier terrain, with a suite of smoky nocturnes and uneasy idylls surveying, with refreshing urgency, mythologies and psychologies both classical and personal. Co-produced by Robbie Cody (Wand, Behavior), these ten sturdy set-pieces represent the loosest, leanest, and most smolderingly electric guitar-forward recordings of Cohen’s deepening catalog.

Cohen’s got a voice that glows like the sun at dusk, and plays guitar with a nimble yet intricate touch. – NPR

Simultaneously haunting and heavenly … shimmers with an eternal mystery. – MOJO

Cohen’s most salient talent is evocation—trapping place, weather, and physical presence like a butterfly pinned beneath glass. – Pitchfork

Titik cerah

It would have been easier to just lay down
to stay flat on the ground
looking up at the clouds...
on a rainy day...
puddles to drown me
rain all around me...a drop at a time
to drill a hole in my mind
yea
a lil water torture...cause ur methods' so fine...whoa whoa whoa yea yea
so fine
from here in these weeds...mud sucking me in...some kinda pull
shake me out in a sieve
but now I circle the drain..yea
puddles to drown me
in all this rain
It would have been easier to just lay down
to stay flat on the ground
looking up at the clouds...
on a rainy day...
puddles to drown me
rain all around me...a drop at a time
to drill a hole in my mind
to drill a hole in my mind

A Hole In My Mind

Quiet Storm

whipped cream kisses

Patriachy had me getting so enraged,
Men had left me feeling disengaged,
Then I rolled down the window and you leaned in
Kissed me and said "let's take a spin"

Then I handed you the keys to drive me crazy
Never thought I’d be your baby 
But you took the right hand side 
And you ran all the red lights
And now my memory is hazy
Cos you’re driving me crazy.
You have the license to make a psycho out of me.

I’m afraid to be this happy
Asked my friends if I am manic 
I don’t trust that feels this big
Are meant for me
A high that’s lasted 2 weeks
A pain from smiling in both my cheeks
And the thought of you still 
Making me so weak.


because I handed you the keys to drive me crazy
Never thought I’d be your baby 
But you took the right hand side 
And you ran all the red lights
And now my memory is hazy
Cos you’re driving me crazy.
You have the license to make a psycho out of me


Yeah baby you are magic
Keep on spinning your tricks
You've got my attention
and now my feelings

I’m not measured 
I’m not calm
I just want you on my arms
I’m not chill
There is no pill
To cure the crazy you bring out in me

because I handed you the keys to drive me crazy
Never thought I’d be your baby 
But you took the right hand side 
And you ran all the red lights
And now my memory is hazy
Cos you’re driving me crazy.
You have the license to make a psycho out of me

How Can You Mend A Broken Heart

Fantastic apocalyptic poetry from Bob Dylan's second album the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. Just Bob and an acoustic guitar in 3/4 time. Atypical of me, my rendition is in the original key of D, using the drop D tuning. Vocal and guitar recorded live, one track and one take. This epic song packs a powerful punch!

A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

A song about grudges, missed opportunities, trains not boarded, inertia ... that kind of thing.

Old Scores

I guess I was trying to settle
Old scores
But the people that need taught
Don’t live here any more

I guess I was waiting to give it
One final shot
But the targets have been moved
They told me, I forgot

I wish that I had been faster on my feet
I just stood there proving I could stand the heat
And now the last train is leaving with an empty seat

I guess I was hanging on to see
If the skies would clear
But the forecast didn’t lie
It was raining all year

You come to depend on those rhythms
That familiar drill
And you think you’re on a journey
You’re really standing still

I know I should have been planning for this day
But I thought that the tougher thing to do was stay
Now the last train in the station is pulling away

I guess what we’re saying is it’s much
Much too late
Someone told me to hurry
Something told me to wait

If I could go back I would drag me
Screaming and scratching
Clear of this invidious fate
