Cobra “Lady On The Bricks”
Coby Hartzler, core member of previously MM-approved Ohio indie-folk act State Bird, has plans to release a solo album sometime later this year under the tag Cobra, and he’s allowing fans a glimpse into it’s development with the posting of a handful of demos on his own blog.
Of the group, it’s the seducing “Lady On The Bricks” that emerges as a definite standout, due to it’s sudden jump from casual bluesy stroll to storming indie-rock stomper, and Harztler’s high-pitched yelps and falsetto crowings bemoaning the teasings of a hottie lain alongside the pool: “It’s not what you doin’/ It’s what you doin’ it for,” he soulfully strains on the chorus, all too aware of the cruel game the beauty before him is playing.
The fact that the first two-thirds of the song triggers the notion that he’s about to bust out into a cover of The Commodores’ country-soul ballad “Easy” at any moment only makes it better.
