Cold War Kids - “Something Is Not Right With Me”
I wanted to wait until I had a copy of the entire record before posting this guy. I always enjoyed Nathan Willett’s vocals, which are always super soulful… like a lo-fi indie gospel singer or something (“We Used to Vacation” and “Hang Me Up to Dry” off the last record are great examples). This record seems to be a bit more political and pointed, and this song is a great example. CWK completely hammers home the melodic point, with similar verse and chorus melodies. Nathan sounds frustrated and passionate, and I love that.
