Description
The quick bass drag into the first chorus of Hang Me Up to Dry still makes the room lean forward. Robbers & Cowards is Cold War Kids’ scrappy, blues-bitten debut, all cracked piano, clattering drums, and Nathan Willett’s pleading bark. We Used to Vacation opens like a confession over rattling keys, while Hospital Beds swells on call-and-response harmonies you can feel. On this LP, the space around the vocals and keys breathes better, and the low end sits deeper. It belongs on the shelf next to The Walkmen’s mid-2000s stomp, though Cold War Kids lean more into gospel shouts and barroom piano. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Cold War Kids records online with us. Perfect for a late tram ride across Melbourne or a small kitchen singalong when the chorus hits. Sequencing still moves like a night out that got complicated, from the woozy remorse of We Used to Vacation to the catharsis of Hospital Beds. Vocals cut through with just enough grit, and the band’s rattly dynamics feel more alive than the old CDs. Newer fans jump in for Hang Me Up to Dry, but the deeper cuts keep you around.
Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
