Cold War Kids' anthems are built on high-octane rock, but the indie band can also be contemplative. Bishop Briggs joins on the clap-happy groover "So Tied Up" and the minimalist ballad "Love On the Brain," in which she and Nathan Willett knit together their soulful howls in a dramatic fashion. Meanwhile, "Restless" wades in electro-R&B ripples and "A Million Eyes" pulses to the symphonic clinks of beer glasses.
