The perhaps back-in-form Cold War Kids.
Cold War Kids give their first glimpse of the pending April 2 release of Dear Miss Lonelyhearts with a (cue Rock Critic Adjective Generator) soaring, anthemic, urgent song called “Miracle Mile.” After the commercial-leaning, glossy disappointment that was 2011’s Mine Is Yours, which laid in sharp contrast to the brilliance of their earlier, rawer work.
There are some generally encouraging video hints to other album tracks here, with their arty black-and-white aesthetic fully intact.
Between this and the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs (more on this tomorrow), we may just spend April under headphones.
