Review

Just as producer Jacquire King spun the Kings Of Leon’s retro Southern rock into relevant radio gold, his Midas touch on Mine Is Yours gives Cold War Kids’ third studio album a huge panoramic sound where the band’s rough edges and raw narratives have been smoothed over with glistening guitar tones, sleek synth notes and lyrics that focus on relationships and monogamy. The title-track opens with the healthy pulse of a stroboscopic synthesizer as Nathan Willett croons soulfully locking into inflections that walk the line between Modest Mouse’s Isaac Brock and Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas. The catchy “Louder Than Ever” plays like an insta-hit that filters Echo & The Bunnymen’s dark beauty with the Walkmen’s adoration of early U2. The less obvious “Out of the Wilderness” is a solid standout where a distorted bass rumbles below clicking percussion and Willett’s return to painful, poetic lyrics of introspection that all spiral out of control before a disarming breakdown tames the tune. “Sensitive Kid” flirts with handsome minimalism while “Cold Toes On the Cold Floor” takes a bluesy hint from Black Keys.

Biography

Formed: CA

Genre: Alternative

Years Active: ’00s, ’10s

Long Beach, CA’s Cold War Kids make music with roots that go deep and wide, embracing influences as diverse as Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Jeff Buckley, and the Velvet Underground. Matt Aveiro, Matt Maust, Jonnie Russell, and Nathan Willett began crafting their soulful, blues-inflected take on indie rock as Cold War Kids in 2004, recording demos in Los Angeles soon after they formed. After signing to Monarchy Music, Cold War Kids released their debut EP, Mulberry Street, in spring 2005. The band’s unique sound and impassioned live act generated a buzz — particularly from bloggers — that grew with each tour and release. Maust’s clean but eye-catching designs for EPs like With Our Wallets Full and Up in Rags and the group’s website also added to Cold War Kids’ mystique. They spent much of 2006 on the road with Tapes ‘n Tapes, Figurines, Sound Team, and Editors and appeared at that year’s Lollapalooza. That summer, they signed to Downtown Records, also home to Art Brut and Gnarls Barkley. The band’s full-length debut, Robbers & Cowards, arrived that fall. Loyalty to Loyalty, which moved in a slower, bluesier direction, was released in 2008. On Behave Yourself, an EP that had a digital release late in 2009 and was issued on CD early in 2010, Cold War Kids emphasized their soulful ballads. In 2010 the band went into the studio with Grammy-winning producer Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Kings of Leon). Their third album, Mine Is Yours, arrived in early 2011.
