We Used to Vacation is the fourth EP by the American indie rock band Cold War Kids. It was released by V2 on November 27, 2006 on compact disc and vinyl.[1][2] The title track (which is also the opening track of Robbers & Cowards) is told from the perspective of an alcoholic family man, telling of his struggle against his alcoholism in order to be responsible to his family.[citation needed] The line "I give a check to tax deductible charity organizations" is from the Bob Dylan track "Ballad of a Thin Man", from his Highway 61 Revisited album.
Critical reception[edit]
NME were impressed by the track, praising the production and vocals and saying that the band had "enough flair, taste and soul for any educated heart in Britain."[3]
