The second half of the aughts was rich with indie anthems boasting catchy hooks, orchestral backdrops, and a lot of hand clapping. Cold War Kids were one of the many artists producing such bangers, bouncing to the alt-rock charts in 2007 with the infectious single “Hang Me Up to Dry.” Fast-forward 13 years and the California indie band is still churning out stick-in-your-head tunes accompanied by the smooth falsetto vocals of frontman Nathan Willett. While more polished and pop-heavy than the band’s scratchier early stuff, Cold War Kids’ newest work offers undeniably catchy and hip-shaking beats that will draw new and old fans to the dance floor.
