    Cold War Kids, 'Audience' -- Video Premiere

    Cold War Kids tackle the topic of relationships in the video for 'Audience,' a track off of their just-released 'Behave Yourself' EP. The Long Beach indie rockers were accompanied by their real-life girlfriends in the clip, which adds air of authenticity to their onscreen interactions.

    The band, no strangers to highly stylized music videos, employed the help of their friend Vern Moen to direct. "We have always been really involved in the video making process," frontman Nathan Willet tells Spinner. "To create a story that is relevant to the song and yet builds something independent of the song is so tricky."

    For 'Audience,' the bandmates and their respective girlfriends spent time lounging by the Pacific Ocean, adding a cinematic quality to the video. "It's theatrical -- sort of Cassavates style," Willet notes. "The 'Audience' video is superior to any other video done by a sweet rock band in some time."

    Have a look at the exclusive video premiere below.

    I love your sound..I prefer to see lots of 'band shots' in videos, the underwater shots are cool. Your sound is very fresh and original, that is difficult to find today. Stay true to who you are..always, follow your heart.
