WALKMEN ARE BACK BABY AND THEY DIDN'T REHEARSE AT ALL

Seems like The Walkmen are up to something?

Hamilton Leithauser – Sick as a Dog
The Walkmen – In the New Year
Happy New Year, Citizens.
This song came out in the summer of 2008, and for me it definitely captured a feeling of that fall and into the start of 2009; a feeling that feels pretty far away here coming from the end of 2016, but my hope and wish is for everyone here to catch a little bit of that feeling again in the new year.
Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam – A 1000 Times
FTLT (the citizen that alerted the citizenry to the likes of Alabama Shakes and Courtney Barnett long before everyone else figured it out, who also used to be a DJ, contributor, and frequent commenter as well as being known as somewhat of a basketball enthusiast (in the case that anyone is unfamiliar)) causally dropped a mention in a FMD a little bit back. I've learned to listen when the hitman does so.
A collaboration between the lead singer of The Walkmen and one of the main cogs of Vampire Weekend, their album is a whirling plunge through genres, eras, and textures, but all with a distinctly original sound that I hope they explore on another album or two. Anyway, this song has been between lowkey to rock-climber's grip stuck in my head for the past few weeks now.

The Walkmen – Victory
While the normal guys sleep in I thought I would provide a hopeful thought for this afternoon.

The Walkmen – Heartbreaker
Figured I might as well try to annoy freealonzo one more time this year. Thanks to the VJs and the Citzenry for having me again.

The Walkmen – The Rat
I saw these guys last night along with the New Pornographers. I will comment on how wonderful the show was in LTE form when I sober up a bit.
