A fortnight ago The Walkmen dropped Heaven, the title track from their upcoming seventh studio album. Well today we get Heartbreaker, a delicate slice of fuzzy guitar music. It's vintage Walkmen, with a slightly more polished vibe than on previous endevours. In an exclusive interview with Pitchfork , frontman Hamilton Leithauser clarified: “You know, this was the easiest one to make, honestly! Part of it might just be that I’m used to how bad it can be. Phil and our manager set a schedule for recording, and I saw it and was like, “That [...]

Just the other day we got to hear a brand new track from The Walkmen called "Heaven" and we mentione d that we'll hopefully get some more tracks prior to the album, Heaven, dropping on June 5th via Fat Possum Records. Well, we were right! Today you can enjoy a cut via We All Want Someone To Shout For called " Heartbreaker " which got played by the wonderful Huey Morgan on BBC 6 Music. Check it out below.

Swave indie rockers the Walkmen are gearing up to release a new album on June 5th via Fat Possum. The title: Heaven . The title track is streaming above. This will be the band's 7th full-length album, and the Walkmen's discography, for me, has been a journey of highs and lows. While it's not easy to stay excited when the band drops an album I'm not in love with , I'm always ready to hear them come back with something better. The track above has more guts than most of 20102s Lisbon , [...]
We’ve had the Walkmen’s new single “Heaven,” the title track from their upcoming sixth record, on repeat since the minute it dropped, so we’re psyched to now be able to interchange it with another Heaven cut, “Heartbreaker,” which just premiered on BBC 1. We’d say it was a great pop ballad if the chorus wasn’t “I’m not your heartbreaker / some tender ballad player,” so we’ll just have to say it’s another pitch-perfect specimen of a Walkmen song – driving rhythm section, tight guitar weaves, Hamilton Leithauser’s classic wail… If [...]

A few weeks back, The Walkmen released a teaser trailer for their upcoming album, Heaven ( pre-order via iTunes ). Now we have the first song, also entitled "Heaven". Take a listen down below. The Walkmen | [ Official Site ] [ Twitter ] [ Facebook ]

Here at WTGR we got a lot of love for The Walkmen. In fact, we named their last record, Lisbon , the sixth best of 2010. We are then, appropriately excited about Heaven , its follow-up to be released on 4th June. Finally, we have something concrete to get our ears round - Heaven 's first single, er, Heaven . It's clear from the off that producer Phil Ek has really helped these guys. In an exclusive interview with Pitchfork , frontman Hamilton Leithauser clarified: "You know, this was the [...]
The Walkmen have been one of the best bands in the world for over ten years. Heaven is their sixth full-length release (seventh if you count their covers record), and if that isn’t impressive enough for you, just remember that all those records have been really fucking good – from the slow jams to the bar-crawl anthems to the revenge barnburners to the straight up rock songs, the Walkmen can do it all, and they can do it so, so well.

The Walkmen have been making amazing records full of what have probably been scientifically proven as the best songs to sing when you’re drunk for ten years, and they’re looking to drop their sixth album, as yet untitled, in 2012. With tables manned by onetime Shins producer Phil Ek and the great stuff the band premiered on tour with Fleet Foxes last fall, it’s already sounding promising. To celebrate the end of recording the record, the band posted to YouTube a medley of U2 covers (seriously) they recorded on the fly in the studio to [...]

![[Listen] The Walkmen Cover Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3709002_lg.jpg)
I'll let you into a secret. I say secret if you know me personally it isn't that much of a secret, but I'm a big Bob Dylan fan. This may only be lightly linked to Bobby D but I'm not complaining. The Walkmen recently visited KEXP and laid down some raspy covers of Johnny Cash however one of the tracks was actually a cover that Johnny had done of Bob, so you see the loose link to Mr Zimmerman. The tracks they performed were "Wanted Man" which was originally Dylan's along with "Mr. [...]

Tweet Austin, TX is regularly cited as the "live music capital of the world". I was recently there myself, and I have to say it certainly does have an impressive array of venues, bands, and bars where you can ingest many different kinds of music. And I was there on a Monday night. One of the bands coming out of Austin that have got me pretty excited right now are Modern Moonlight. The amount of information out there about them is scarce at best, [...]
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart reviennent enfin. Ils ont même eu la délicate attention de livrer l'intégralité de leur album en écoute. Belong sort le 29 mars et ces 16 jours sont autant de raison de se replonger dans l'histoire du shoegazing et de la power pop dont ils continuent à porter fièrement [...]
