Mine Is Yours

Mine Is Yours is the third studio album by American indie rock band Cold War Kids. It was released on January 25, 2011, by Downtown Records. Following the releases of Loyalty to Loyalty and Behave Yourself, the band sought to work on new material that spanned the course of three months in Nashville and California after two years of touring. Produced by Jacquire King, responsible for the mainstream success of fellow American rock band Kings of Leon, the album deviates from the band's dark blues rock-influenced folk tales heard in their previous records into a more mainstream sound with lyrics that talked about personal relationships. Mine Is Yours debuted at number 21 on the Billboard 200 and spawned four singles: "Louder Than Ever", "Skip the Charades", "Finally Begin" and "Royal Blue". The album received a mixed response from critics, with reviews divided by the band's change in sound and lyrical content. To promote the record, the band toured across North America and Europe with appearances at music festivals and talk shows. Mine Is Yours was the band's last album to feature lead guitarist Jonnie Russell, who left for personal reasons.
