HOT OFF THE PRESS (#4)
The Walkmen – You & Me
To be released August 19, 2008 on Gigantic.
I won’t lie and say I was just buzzing with excitement over the release
of the new Walkmen album. After all, they’ve had a solid little
career, with some pleasant peaks and even a good deal of critical
acclaim for their 2004 release Bows + Arrows. And they’re taking a generous step towards general angelhood with the pre-release method for their new album, You & Me, which they are offering for a mere five dollars online, with 100% of proceeds going to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
But despite this undeniably excellent and heartfelt deed—not to mention
the steady reputation the band has established—it’s always seemed like
something’s holding back the New York quintet musically, and,
unfortunately, You & Me isn’t about to dispel those notions.
