Well look at that. Cold War Kids are returning with a brand new album to kick of 2011 right. On January 24th, 2011 the band’s 3rd album, titled Mine Is Yours, will be released on Downtown Records.
The album will consist of 11 new songs, recorded in three months in Nashville Tennessee, and Los Angeles, California. Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits, Modest Mouse) recorded/produced the album.
Here’s how lead singer Nathan Willett described the songwriting on Mine Is Yours:
“I got home from tour and realized I was married. All my friends had either jumped in the deep end of a relationship or had drowned. When did things get so serious? We fought growing up but the wild nights and free-for-all caught up with us. Some people got out in time and others had permanent damage. For this record, I wrote about the joys and failures of commitment all around me.â€
Sounds like this albums going have some pretty dense lyrical content. Hopefully they can combine that with the thrilling, hungrier music found on their great debut album. I hope Cold War Kids can recapture that magic.
