Tuxedos

Cold War Kids

A hushed, piano-led collection of b-sides and covers. These six tracks trade the band's usual urgency for a spacious, cathedral-reverb intimacy.

Find on Amazon

It's the band's quietest, most soulful moments recorded in a room that sounds like a church.

A spacious and soulful retreat into quiet, reverb-drenched melancholy.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The cavernous natural reverb on the cathedral version of Bottled Affected that makes every piano note hang in the air.
The transition into the weary, soulful chorus of the title track Tuxedos where the vocals reach a strained peak.
The delicate, almost folk-leaning acoustic guitar strumming that opens Pine Street.
