Cold Wars Kids Mine Is Yours

Long Beach, Calif.'s Cold War Kids made a substantial splash with their 2006 debut, the (mostly) well-received Robbers & Cowards. But their full-length sophomore record, 2008's Loyalty to Loyalty, failed to resonate as strongly with critics and fans alike. It was followed by a several EPs as the band prepped this, it's third proper release. Mine is Yours was produced by Jacquire King, known for his work with Tom Waits and Kings of Leon, while frontman Nathan Willett said fans should expect more personal, relationship-based lyrical content on here.
