''Mine Is Yours'' is the third studio album by American indie rock band Cold War Kids. It was released on September 25, 2011 by Downtown Records. Following the mixed reception of 2008's ''Loyalty to Loyalty'', 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 marks as a departure from the band's dark blues rock-influenced folk tales heard in their previous albums into a more mainstream sound with lyrics that talk about personal relationships. ''Mine Is Yours'' debuted at number 21 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and spawned four singles (two official and two promotional): "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 album, 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. ==Background and recording== After the release of their seventh EP ''Behave Yourself'', Cold War Kids went to Nashville to work on new material for their next album. Instead of writing songs and recording them quickly, they spent two months together on the material they worked on. Lead singer Nathan Willett found this new experience to be "(was ) much more spread out, (was ) much more broken down and built up again." The band found the approach different than in their previous album ''Loyalty to Loyalty'', in which the record felt rushed and Willett said that, "() lot of our good ideas went unfinished. Nobody was there to tell us, "This is good, but it could be better." The album was produced by Jacquire King, who previously did albums for Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse and Tom Waits. Willett was surprised by King, commenting how King would interject himself into the recording process with advice〔 and allow his artists to brainstorm ideas until they come up with the answer. The production featured reverb-tinged guitars and drum machines that were considered new to the band when they came across them during recording.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mine Is Yours」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
