Behave Yourself EP

'If you haven't heard Cold War Kids before, maybe try and give them a listen. If you HAVE listened to Cold War Kids maybe try to listen to their new album, Behave Yourself EP like I did. This sweet four song EP is straightforward and has a sound that almost anyone can enjoy. I particularly enjoyed the production of the album. Every song seems to have this large reverberating sound that is full and rich. You would think they recorded it at your local ballroom and in this album the Cold War Kids caught a special amount of minimalism that I really found appealing. The songs are infectious and catchy but what makes the Cold War Kids stand out amongst many other blues/folk/indie bands and what makes this EP worth buying is Nathan Willet's interesting and distinct voice. Using a large amount of dynamics and falsetto Willet captures a special emotion that makes all these songs very enjoyable. All the songs are strong, and there aren't any runts, to speak of, but if you're anything like me, you probably wish it had lasted a little longer. The songs can seem a tad short and this four song EP clocks in less than 15 minutes. I suppose we'll just have to wait a couple months for their full LP to drop into our hands.' - Willy the Knight / Indierockreviews.com
