Cold War Kids make serious music. Seriously good music, as well. Which doesn’t mean they’re not in for a little fun from time to time. Three years ago, for example, they were involved in a project with Belgian beer brewer Stella Artois, where they used beer glasses as instruments. This resulted in the track A Million Eyes.

Just over ten years after their debut album Robbers And Cowards, Cold War Kids finished their sixth long player. L.A. Divine will be released on 7 April, but the first single is already here. Love Is Mystical is a banger, with a piano that bears enough resemblance with the intro of Fat Boy Slim’s Praise You to sound familiar, without being very similar at all. Catchy tune!
