Cold War Kids are excited to announce the release of their fourth studio album, Dear Miss Lonelyhearts, on April 2, 2013 via Downtown Records. In anticipation of the release, the band is currently streaming the album’s engaging lead single, “Miracle Mile."
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts came to life at the band’s San Pedro, CA studio space. They enlisted new guitar player, Dann Gallucci (Murder City Devils, Modest Mouse) and Lars Stalfors to produce. “We were shaken up, ready to let certain songs go further than before by trying new styles and arrangements, while keeping others sparse and caring more about the finished product and less about how we got there,” says lead singer Nathan Willett.
Cold War Kids’ energetic live performances remain the heart of the band. On February 15, they will return to the road, playing Pappy & Harriet’s Place in Pioneertown, CA and will remain on tour through May 25 playing venues like Metro in Chicago, IL on April 6, Paradise Rock Club in Boston, MA on April 10, Webster Hall in NYC on April 13 and Henry Fonda Theatre Los Angeles, CA on May 24. Fans have a chance to secure tickets through the band’s Wednesday, January 16 pre-sale, starting at 10:00 AM PST.
