Cold War Kids Release Free Digital EP

Cold War Kids

Mulberry Street is a rare, out-of-print Cold War Kids EP that features six songs recorded prior to their latest album Robbers & Cowards. The band is making it available for free as a ‘thank you’ to their fans.

“Cold War Kids recorded three, six-song EPs before releasing Robbers & Cowards,” frontman Nathan Willett said in a statement. “The first of the three EPs is called Mulberry Street. It was recorded in a day in M. Wignall’s garage/studio for some design job favors from [bassist Matt] Maust and sixty bucks.”

“In between takes, Wignall would play an album over the speakers, like Iggy Pop’s Lust For Life or Neil Young’s After the Gold Rush, and go on long rants, pointing out sounds and talking about how good these musicians were and how we would be lucky if in ten years we could play a song anywhere near this good. We thought ‘Who cares! We just want to record our songs for us!’ Then he showed us how to record vocals while he went to mow the lawn.”
