I have known of the Cold War Kids for a number of years now but I never really got into them. dear Miss Lonelyhearts is in my view a career defining album from the guys from Long beach, It marries a kind of sad vibe with good uplifting music that is ear candy at it’s finest. The best song on the album for me is Tuxedos closely followed by Jailbirds and of course song with the same name as the album Dear Miss Lonelyhearts. This album is an absolute must have for 2013.
