The Walkmen Reveal New Album Details

After a couple years of rehearsals in warehouses and converted nightclubs, countless hours shuttling band members between Philly and New York on the Chinatown bus, hundreds of discarded demos, and a distance of many miles separating recording sessions in Oxford, Mississippi and the Big Apple, the Walkmen have finally put the finishing touches on their fourth proper LP, You & Me. The set, clocking in just short of an hour, is due August 19 from their new label, Gigantic Music.

Come August, the Walkmen will bring You & Me to you and I, as they spend a little time on the road in North America.

You & Me:

01 Dónde Está la Playa
02 Flamingos (for Colbert)
03 On the Water
04 In the New Year
05 Seven Years of Holidays (for Stretch)
06 Postcards From Tiny Islands
07 Red Moon
08 Canadian Girl
09 Four Provinces
10 Long Time Ahead of Us
11 The Blue Route
12 New Country
13 I Lost You
14 If Only It Were True

Walkmen:

08-18 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom
08-19 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom
08-21 West Hollywood, CA - Troubadour
08-22 West Hollywood, CA - Troubadour
08-27 Portland, OR - Doug Fir Lounge
08-28 Vancouver, British Columbia - Richard's on Richards *
08-29 Victoria, British Columbia - Rifflandia Festival
08-30 Seattle, WA - Bumbershoot Festival

Really cool album cover, reminds me of Belle & Sebastian. Haven't listened to the Walkmen in a while, I should do that.

I bought their first album "Bows + Arrows" mainly for the track called The Rat because of the drum intro but the entire wasn't that good. How's the rest of their catalog?

1)Bows + Arrows is their 2nd album
2)B+A is amazing
3)Their debut album is also great.

yep... i think the first one is stronger and more consistant, but Bows + Arrows has a handful of just amazing songs too

3rd one was mad disappointing unfortunately. hopefully they lose a bit of that calypso this time around and rock out again.

not that big on that album cover myself tho, seems a bit too cosmopolitan for them....

I think I might be the only person in the world who's favorite is 100 Miles Off. I don't know, something about that record struck me like the others didn't. It's really good.

White Rabbits pulled off that calpsyo/rock hybrid sound better

on my first listen...

i'm half way through and i'm really loving the overall vibe & tone of the record, but not a single melody has really stuck out to me yet :?

hopefully with repeated listens they'll reveal themselves
