After signing to Downtown Records, the first order of business for camp Cold War Kids was to get a full-length together to continue to convert the masses. This they did, and release date is just around the corner. Ten tracks on the new album come from the stellar EPs we know and love, with new tunes "God, Make Up Your Mind" and "Passing The Hat" rounding out the tracklist. But the Kids re-recorded for their big "debut," and we're hoping the new versions don't lose that raw, DIY spunk. Take a listen at AOL and tell us in the morning.
And despite Futureheads having backed out of their upcoming tour, CWK will soldier on, making it their first headlining trek. Get out there and see these guys! Whether they're on the LES or in Norway, no one walks away disappointed.
Robbers & Cowards is out 10/10.
