Imitation of War

LP/CD/digital
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

Itasca: Milk

This is a song from an album I put out many years ago, featuring the fabulous Todd Norian on keys and Mike McAvoy on guitar.  The song reflects that amazing feeling of feeling that God is everywhere and in me, you and everyone around us.  Amazing.  I hope you enjoy it.

BASIT Nadeem - Maa

Quiet Storm

Maybe thats how it goes
One dies another grows
And what goes around just stays around 
I suppose

Maybe it's just the way
We're living it day by day
And how do we believe the things we say

Well I know it's gonna take forever
And I never seem to get it right
I know there's gonna be bad weather
Though I try so hard to make it bright

It's neverending
It just goes on and on
Neverending
It just goes on and on
On and on

Maybe that's how it seems
Clinging tight to our dreams
We sleep so right in the darkest night
The world turns and brings the light

Making alll worthwhile
Taking it with a smile
Never fight the changing light
Embrace the day
Don't hold it tight

And  I know it's gonna take forever
Though I neer seem to get it right
But there's gonna be bad weather
And  I try so hard to make it bright

They say it's neverending
It just goes on and on
Neverending
It just goes on and on
Neverending
It just goes on and on
On and on.

NEVERENDING

Baby sister don’t know what to say Nobody tell her what to do
That’s just the way it’s gonna be now So you hit em where it really hurts Spoiled the milk and kicked the dirt That’s just the way it’s gonna be now
You’re always searching, but it’s a long long long way out
So take this moment cause it’s just the way it’s gonna be now right now
Like candied corn and lemonade
What sweetens the lips’ll spoil the brain That’s just the way it’s gonna be now
A fist to clench the hands you shake
If broken will and sorrow mate
That’s just the way it’s gonna be now
always searching, but it’s a long long long way out
So take this moment cause it’s just the way it’s gonna be now right now
