Cold War Kids and a new EP called Behave Yourself. Four songs, that’s all. I had no expectations, made no assumptions. Rumor has it the songs were leftovers and pushed from one side to another, eventually they were given the spotlight. Impression: oh dear!
Audience is a sick masterpiece; the track, until its middle, tempts like a new shiny music box and once you open it you get transfixed, believing you’re the one audience they play for. Then on to Coffee Spoon the metaphoric serenade of a resurrected soul “inside my china room / you are my coffee spoon’’. Santa Ana Winds holds the geographical touch in the EP as well as the edging beat. The ‘Santa Ana Winds’, a meteorological phenomenon famous in Southern California, emerge as poetical influence for these kids. And Sermons, the bitter vision over life. The track’s lyrical content is its forte, praised by its dramatically beat – a strong track nonetheless. Amazing EP, grounded, impressive and intelligent.
Yup, they’re good.
