The Cold War Kids have announced the October 21 release of new album, Hold My Home. Their fifth studio album, produced by Dann Gallucci and Lars Stalfors and recorded at the band’s studio in San Pedro, CA will be released through Downtown Records. The ten song dispatch promises pre-orderers an automatic download of the album’s lead single, “All This Could Be Yours” for which they also released a brand new music video.

Frontman Nathan Willett summarized the album for the press release by quoting the lyrics to the album’s title track, “You’ve moved every year or two since you were 18. Home is no longer an actual place to return to. It’s ephemeral; it’s where you go in your memory to recall friends, your identity, your version of family. You can’t touch or hold on to it, but you can feel home anywhere. But where are your roots now? Sometimes I wish that I could stop time and hold my home where the seasons never change.”

The album’s lead single, “All This Could Be Yours” was met with critical acclaim, Consequence of Sound called it “an accessible, radio-ready banger” while All Things Go described it as “a treat, with a bouncy keyboard and stomping tambourine back-beat leading the way…So they’re not kids anymore. They still rock.” The band accompanied the album announcement with the video for the lead single.

The black and white video follows a tormented androgynous rocker chick out from her room into the urban world of after-hours NYC. The rebellious pomp of the alt-rock tune promises some good material for fans of the band off the upcoming, Hold My Home.
