Kings of Convenience - “Mrs Cold”
It’s been raining here in Nashville for almost a week straight now, and with rain forecast everyday for the coming week as well, this calls for some rainy-day music. And the Kings of Convenience are the order of the day.
The Norwegian duo is a folky, two-acoustic-guitar outfit who play simple yet string-heavy music. And while the arrangements are relatively simple (and decidedly pretty), the real magic these two possess is in their vocal harmonies. The Kings sing in harmony the way only Simon and Garfunkel used to, and that kind of harmony I can listen to day in and day out (especially on Sunday mornings and rainy days). “Mrs Cold” is one of the first tracks on the Kings’ third studio album, Declaration of Dependence, due out October 20th on Virgin Records; however, if you’re stuck in the rain the way I am and want to hear more now, I recommend starting at the beginning with Quiet is the New Loud.
