Blog: Quit Mumbling

The Walkmen released another song off their upcoming  Heaven today. Off the heels of their title track , "We Can't Be Beat" is all about the necessity of the other side of perfection, and danger in not planning for and accommodating failure along the way (" Golden dreams all lose their glow") . It starts off like a lullaby, with Hamilton Leithause's recognizable warble over leisurely-picked strings before reaching a Western dirt-kicked gallop into the sunset, like a man who's lived through his convictions. Their follow-up to Lisbon is out May 29.
