COLD WAR KIDS PREMIERE THE VIDEO FOR "FREE TO BREATHE" TODAY ON VEVO
Track Is From The Band's Latest Album - LA DIVINE - Out Now On Capitol Records
Today, Cold War Kids premiere the video for their new track, "Free To Breathe" on Vevo. The clip was filmed in Long Beach, California and directed by Marika Dahlin and Sam Pepke of @madebyshelly, watch it HERE. Tonight, fans can tune in to Vevo's Instagram to see the band discuss the making of and inspiration behind the video live at 6pm PT/9pm ET.
Says frontman Nathan Willett, "Had the pleasure of having my sister, Marika, direct this video. She chose her friend and model Brook Power to act in the video whom she had just watched go from giving birth to being Playmate of the Year a few months later. What makes the video compelling to me is how intimately Marika shows the beauty and the isolation; the inner struggle of hustling while holding on to yourself. That raw vulnerability captures the emotion of the song perfectly."
Cold War Kids sixth studio album LA Divine is out now on Capitol Records. The album pays tribute to Los Angeles in all its strange glory, embodying Cold War Kids' fascination with their adopted hometown. Produced by Lars Stalfors (Health, Local Natives), it debuted in Top 10 of Billboard's Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts.
The Huffington Post said, "The soulful lyrics and sonic reverence of [LA Divine] is overwhelmingly compelling, addictive and even mesmerizing." Entertainment Weeklyobserved, "[The album features] the gospel-tinged 'No Reason to Run,' eerie 'Open to the Heavens,' and dance-ready 'Invincible.' Album closer and highlight 'Free to Breathe' strips away flourishes, relying instead on minimal, ethereal instrumentation and frontman Nathan Willett's vocals."
The bands current hit single, "So Tied Up" featuring British singer/songwriter, Bishop Briggs is hailed by TIME as "enticing" and noted, "This one is a fast -paced toe tapper with a stadium-sized arrangement. As far as angsty passionate themes to conflicted love affairs go, this one ticks all the right boxes." The track was also featured onNPR's World Café 'Best of 2017' Playlist. Watch the official video here and a live acoustic performance Willett and Briggs recording "So Tied Up," backed only by violin, cello and Willett on piano here.
Cold War Kids will perform at Aspen Mountain Gondola Plaza on February 17, and Belly Up Festival on February 18th before shows at Tempe, AZ's Innings Festival in March, followed by Hangout Fest, LaurelLive and Firefly Music Festival this summer. All dates can be found at http://www.coldwarkids.com.
