The Walkmen

The Walkmen are fab. This NYC based band creates really beautiful, moving melodies and the lead singer Hamilton Leithauser's amazing voice rocks my face.

Their 2008 release, You & Me, is wonderful.

Check out two of my favorite tunes from the above album, "In the New Year" and "Canadian Girl" below.

The Walkmen's new album, Lisbon (which just dropped yesterday) is being released by Water Valley, Mississippi-based indie record label Fat Possum (of R.L. Burnside, The Black Keys and Band of Horses fame).

I really like this new tune.

The band is set to appear on PBS's Sun Studio Sessions in January 2011.

Getting super excited to check them out at Terminal 5 in NYC on December 2nd.
