They’ve also posted a “second album teaser” on YouTube:

We have a confession to make. We didn’t used to like Brooklyn. We rarely went there and when we did we complained bitterly about it. But then, during one hot summer’s day spent in a beer garden in Carrol Gardens, we saw the error of our borough-hating ways. We now *love* Brooklyn. We can’t get enough of it. We blush when we remember our bad attitude of the past. And so, with the 2008 “Celebrate Brooklyn” festival we’re going to get our rocks off in Prospect Park every chance we get. Summer Stage? That’s for wimps! The free performances at “Celebrate Brooklyn” is where it’s at. It all kicks off June 12th with the legendary Isaac Hayes. We’re particularly psyched about that, along with Cold War Kids on June 27th, Brazilian Girls on July 11th and Hal Wilner’s Bill Withers project on August 9th.

Get your F train on and we’ll see you down the front.

Here’s our favorite Cold War Kids video:

Performances take place at the Prospect Park Bandshell, which is also hosting some pretty fantastic musical performances this summer, including the lovely Feist on July 9th and Spoon on July 15th and our hero of all heroes, Bob Dylan on August 12th!!!

The Prospect Park Bandshell is at 9th St. & Prospect Park West Brooklyn, New York 11215.
