Cold War Kids

Label: Monarchy Music Corp
Genre: Other, Rock

I stumbled across Cold War Kids while at the office yesterday. Once the music kicked in one of my fellow desk jockeys exclaimed, "Turbo Indie!" Indeed. With their minimal jangles of guitar, sparse percussion and fluttering Buckley-esque vocals, Cold War Kids are about as "indie"-sounding as you can get. The other offerings on their myspace page recall the "freak" folk-ishness of Devendra Banhart and friends. Either way, Cold War Kids come close to reaching that primal place where music originates in all of us.
