“A genre-bending long-player anchored by frontman Nathan Willett’s unique vocals” – The Music 

“Buoyant and ebullient, and with grooves for days, New Age Norms 1 is slick throughout” – Stack

“Their recent songs find Cold War Kids fired up, assertive, and actively engaged…Meaningful and breathtakingly emotional, Cold War Kids’ new music is nothing short of brilliant. Their return is impassioned and charged, intellectually stimulating and provocative. Cold War Kids challenge listeners to think critically about who we are and how we interact with our world, all while providing an exciting, enjoyable soundtrack to our individual and group reflections.” – Atwood

“’Groovy and undeniably dance-ready.”– Paste

“With a grooving stomp and a muted funk, “Complainer” finds Cold War Kids laying down a challenge for the ineffectual dreamers of the world. “4th of July” meanwhile is something of the reverse. A piano bopper laying back in the sun, the song is about acknowledging how far Cold War Kids have come — and being careful not to lose themselves in success.” – Consequence of Sound

New Age Norms 1 is the new album from indie rock favourites Cold War Kids, featuring lead singles “Complainer” and “Waiting For Your Love”.

Over their career, Cold War Kids have fielded music’s seismic shifts while simultaneously sticking to their own game plan. Over the course of a dozen releases – including seven studio albums, multiple EPs, and a live album on majors and indies alike, non-stop tours and the festival circuit’s biggest stages, massive radio, sales & streaming successes, the band have become a major part of the modern landscape.

Their new album New Age Norms 1, with lead single “Complainer” is the next chapter with the approach of taking apart the idea of what the band is and just trying to take the doors off a bit to see where it can go. Produced by Lars Stalfors (St. Vincent, HEALTH, Foster the People), New Age Norms 1 marks the first volume of a three-album trilogy from Cold War Kids.

“Last summer we were on tour when Kanye was putting out his new records,” says Cold War Kids’ Nathan Willett. “Pusha T, Kids See Ghosts, Nas, etc. They were eight songs each. It was so fun waking up to these brand new records and taking them in as a whole while hanging out, working out, talking shit, pushing each other. I knew then I wanted our next release to be three volumes – eight songs each. Without the baggage and hoopla of a full record/tour/concept – more spread out – loose and inspired. Make it feel like you are listening to music that was made the night before. NEW AGE NORMS is a phrase Maust had written on a tee shirt. It seemed to summarize this moment we are in as a band and as a country.”
