Cold War Kids have added a series of UK tour dates ahead of the release of their third album.
Whatever happened to Cold War Kids? After a sparkling debut the band made a swift return but since then the trail has gone cold. Taking time off to re-gain focus, the group are now set to break cover.
Third album 'Mine Is Yours' finally lingers on the release schedules, after lengthy writing sessions earlier this year. Cold War Kids are set to end nearly two and a half years of silence with the new album, which drops early in 2011.
Fans are eager to hear the new material, which Cold War Kids have kept firmly under wraps. Written in Nashville and Los Angeles, the record was produced with assistance from Jacquire King (Kings of Leon, Tom Waits and more).
Promising a deeply personal new album, songwriter Nathan Willett has decided to focus on relationships. “These are portraits of relationships and commitment — what is holding these things together and what does it all mean?” he asked.
“A lot has happened in the last two years — long tours, marriage, relationships, people going in different directions. I felt the need to be more personal, to show the many sides of me.”
'Mine Is Yours' is set to be accompanied by a full length UK tour. Cold War Kids will open the shows in Manchester on February 20th, before playing a one off Glasgow show in the city's Garage venue.
Ending in London on February 23rd, Cold War Kids are preparing to unveil a host of new material.
