It would seem that a few tracks made it to the cutting room floor during the recording of The Walkmen’s 2012 release Heaven . Two of those tracks are “Dance With Your Partner” and “Vermeer 65” will be released on October 6th as a 1,000 pressings, limited edition 7” with the first 100 fans entering their show at Terminal 5 on October 17th getting a free copy. Both tracks are unmistakably The Walkmen with their coveted sound that feels like an extension of Heaven
Following the release of their new album Heaven , The Walkmen are releasing a new 73 with two new songs taken from the same sessions via Fat Possum Records. If you doubt them on that claim, just take a listen to "Dance With Your Partner," which begins with the line, "Our little place called heaven." Sounds perfectly culled to me. Grab a listen below, and pre-order the 73 too, which is limited to 1,000 copies and released on November 6th. Should you be lucky enough to be going to the the band's Terminal [...]
Apparently, The Walkmen were unable to find enough space on their latest excellent LP Heaven . Two new tracks have surfaced titled "Dance With Your Partner" and "Vermeer '653 from said album sessions that did not make the final cut. Both are mellow affairs that are not some toss away tracks that you might expect given they did not get placement on the album. They make you wonder what other kind of unheard goodies might be out there. The limited edition of 1000 73 will be [...]
Two unreleased tracks from their Heaven sessions.
photo by Morgen Schuler Embracing their inner fashion star, Menomena's Justin Harris and Danny Seim have raided a number of wardrobes for the video for the Moms track "Plumage". Director Trevor McHahan explained that the video "is the ultimate illustration of the beautiful conflict in the band's music... what better way to re-imagine that conflict than a Spaghetti Western-inspired Mexican standoff of plumaged badassery between Danny and Justin?" Looks like Jack White's " Freedom at 21 " just got a challenger for video of the year, which you can watch [...]

Known for their expansive recording sessions and globe traversing writing techniques, The Walkmen have never been short on new, diverse material. This year's album Heaven was a masterful number, a lesson in what it means to let go of inhibitions and attack your craft with no preconceived notions of what it needs to be. But it was also mature and introspective in a lot of ways. In talking with the band just after the release of Heaven , that was mostly what they emphasized, that Heaven is a record made without expectations or [...]
The Walkmen often talk about recording twenty or more tracks for a record then cutting the finished product back to ten, which is pretty excruciating for fans out there, but on their latest record Heaven they've said they went into the studio, recorded the record's ten songs, and called it a day. Turns out there are two unused tracks they recorded during those sessions, which the band are now releasing on a limited edition 73 on tour this fall. "Dance With Your Partner," with its moody jumps and echo-y guitar, reminds us a little of some of [...]
