The Walkmen, Heaven: Fleet Foxes Connection Prevents Helplessness Blues

Jan 23, 1:40pm Spinner.com

Filed under: News , Exclusive Jason Merritt, FilmMagic When discussing Heaven , the seventh full-length from New York rockers The Walkmen , it's difficult to ignore the ever-present influence of indie-folk rockers Fleet Foxes . Prior to even meeting the Foxes, Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser was a fan. Then The Walkmen opened for Fleet Foxes in 2011, playing cushy theaters he says his band could have never filled on their own. [...]

Kærlighed, unge bøfler og årets bedste EP

Nov 29, 2012, 11:36am Regnsky

Lad mig fortælle dig en personlig historie. En historie om genfunden kærlighed. For næsten fire år siden faldt jeg tilfældigt over en demo fra et lille, ukendt band fra byen Oxford i staten Mississippi i USA. Demoen indeholdte tre sange. " Catapilah ", " Liars " og " Three Deep ." Det blev starten på et forhåbentlig langt bekendtskab med Jim Barrett og Ben Yarbrough og deres band, Young Buffalo . Et band som dengang havde to erklærede mål. At lave god musik og undgå at opføre [...]

Emotivity Aburst, Lord Huron.

Sep 27, 2012, 5:00am Dots & Dashes

A première around these parts, The Stranger hath emerged from the seemingly plentiful wildernesses of the mind of Michigan-born, although L.A.-based songsmith Ben Schneider. Once a seafaring stranger himself having honed his trade aboard the keels of the U.S. Navy, Schneider certainly knows his way around a gloriously melancholic chantey or two. However, as with some of music's finest polymathic émigrés to have tested the waters before him – and as innumerable others will continue so to do long after – he also shadows as a visual artist, thereby imbuing his musical work with a quite cinematic scope. Focussing on [...]

Sep 25, 2012, 6:38am The 405

It's been a good year for the members of Fleet Foxes, past and present, what with the success of Father John Misty & Poor Moon, but at the very core of the band there's frontman Robin Pecknold , who should never be ignored. The manager of the Fleet Foxes, Aja Pecknold published a literary journal earlier this month titled 'The United Field' and among the contributions, there's a low-fi and beautiful track by Robin titled 'White Lace, Regretfully'. You can hear 'White Lace, Regretfully' above.

Take a spin with ‘Heaven’, by The Walkmen

Jul 2, 2012, 10:30am Music Under Fire

American indie rock band The Walkmen have released their 7th studio album Heaven , and with it 13 new tracks with which to beckon both long-time fans and newbies. If you're new to The Walkmen, you'll find they've a different kind of rock sound that harkens back to 60s music, surfers…something indefinable bearing a sweet touch of yesteryear. The new release opens with the band crooning the subdued, highly listenable "We Can't Be Beat." With its simple, likable harmonies, it has a retro sound and tasteful electric guitar to finish out.

Review | The Walkmen – Heaven

Jun 26, 2012, 9:26am Music Savage

The Walkmen - Heaven Over the course of 6 studio albums, The Walkmen have always managed to reinvent themselves with each release. Their latest,   Heaven , is certainly a departure from the rest. This is no group of young, messy rockers. They're dads now. Reliable. Consistent. The guys have mellowed out. This is the new Walkmen sound, and it works. There is no shortage of beautiful and surprising moments on this album. The first track off the album,  We Can't Be Beat , is a slow starting track that you almost think is over before it picks [...]

What Grizzly Bear’s Been Up To Since Veckatimest

Jun 6, 2012, 9:55am Stereogum

Yesterday, Grizzly Bear kicked off their new album cycle with " Sleeping Ute ," a tempestuous Rossen-penned gem that the comment section wanted to marry. ("I do!" - You guys.) The band's still-untitled record comes 9/18 via Warp, and it is something we will probably talk about a fair bit around here, because it's been three solid years since Veckatimest was our #2 record of 2009 . That's awhile in blogyears. But if it feels like Grizzly Bear never left, it's because they never really did. Jointly they've been [...]

Review/Listen: The Walkmen – “Heaven”

Jun 4, 2012, 4:00pm Listen Before You Buy

Okay, the first thing I absolutely have to talk about before anything else is this darn cover. I believe the idea was to have a classy cover that complements this  Frank-Sinatra -influenced album. This album artwork is so trashy; it looks like a little girl did it on Word. It isn’t even properly centred. Look at the word 'Walk': the 'K' barely fits on and the 'W' has a whole load of space. And, have they changed their name to 'The Walk Men'? Why on earth is their name broken in to two words? I don’t [...]

[Review/Listen] – Father John Misty – “Fear Fun”

I’ve loved Fleet Foxes ever since I saw them perform at my college in 2008 after seeing their name plastered all-over Seattle, music websites, and the side of Easy Street Records in Queen Anne.  When they took the stage, it was clear they had all undergone what’s known as a “beard pact” and each wore a flannel woolier than the last, apart from Robin Pecknold who had lost his clothes somehow and was wearing a large red raincoat.  Aside from the heartiness of their sound, I was left [...]

I'm really liking the production on these new Walkmen songs for the upcoming album Heaven , has a great live feeling to it. Leithauser and Pecknold should do more songs together, the mix of the rough and the smooth goes well together.

Because in just a few weeks, on May 29th, the two bands will release Everybody Taste's two most highly anticipated records of the year: King Tuff's eponymous follow-up to his cult classic debut—the devilishly fun Was Dead— and The Walkmen's attempt to extend their perfect album streak to three with Heaven .

The Walkmen Feat. Robin Pecknold: “We Can’t Be Beat”

May 10, 2012, 2:59am TwentyFourBit

We've heard the title track among other previews of the new Walkmen record, Heaven , and now for a taste of Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold's guest turn as backup vocalist. As with Pecknold and Co.'s  Helplessness Blues , this Phil Ek-assisted set opens with thoughts on aging: "We Can't Be Beat" finds Hamilton Leithauser reflecting on "golden dreams," stripped down to a lone acoustic guitar and voice with Pecknold providing harmonies as we're reminded that those dreams "all lose their glow." Soon enough, though, the Walkmen let go of bittersweet nostalgia - both lyrically and with a [...]

The Walkmen estrena su colaboración con Robin Pecknold

Como ya hemos venido platicándoles, los muchachos de The Walkmen están prácticamente a semanas de publicar Heaven , su séptimo álbum de estudio (sí, séptimo ya), del que hemos tenido algunos buenos adelantos y muchas fotos hogareñas, pues la banda ha decidido utilizar foto "familiares" para los promocionales del mismo, algo que no suena tan alocado si pensamos que una de las influencias de este material fue su reciente paternidad y los cambios que esto ha traído a sus vidas. De la placa ya tuvimos oportunidad de oír el tema que le [...]
