New Age Norms 3 (LP)
Cold War Kids
Amoeba Review
Cold War Kids deliver another epic release in their New Age Norms series, this time tackling the small triumphs and daunting challenges of the pandemic-era “new normal.” The songs are sweeping in scope and in style, delving into our shared societal concerns while bringing them down to a personal level. Case in point: frontman Nathan Willett’s lyrics on “Underground,” a track concerned with the desire to escape from all one’s problems distilled down to a refusal to watch depressing movies and listen to sad tales. Who can’t relate to that? Sure, the band’s thematic concerns may be dark, the music certainly isn’t. Instead, New Age Norms 3 is packed with soulful, life-affirming, percussive tracks, ready made for those days when you’re feeling low and need something to get you going again. When those times come, just hit play.
