ALBUM ABSTRACT:
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

LYRICS:
imitation of war
chasing the next
the plateau there and
the rain it falls careless
on the oil I’m painting
and I’m crying to catch her
the line that I’ve tethered here
she’s fleeing the judgment
in a careless rain
and her muse’s crown on my head
stings like a tear
Was it a snare set by the devil?
then I fell right in
or I was a saint
there on the chapel font
in this Imitation of War
I was outside
watching the orange tree
as the blossoms turned
and the spear weaves the laurel
and I’m crying to catch you
muse in the laurel tree
I will paint the flowers
just chain them to me
and her muse’s crown on my head
stings like a tear
Was it a snare set by the devil?
then I fell right in
or I was a saint
there on the chapel font
in this imitation of war
