Usually videos of a band on tour are kinda boring and once you've seen one you've seen them all, but this one for The Walkmen 's track "Heaven" is a bit different. You see, not only is it a video of them on tour, but it's comprised of pictures of themselves as kids all the way through to the present day, all whilst either on tour or playing live, or doing other band-related activities like posing for pictures and driving around. "Heaven" is taken from The Walkmen [...]

The Walkmen debuted their new video for 'Heaven' today on Pitchfork. The video was directed by Alex Southam, and it shows a montage of Walkmen photos and video from the bands concerts and family photos. You could almost say that they were giving you an up close and personal look at the band.

    The Walkmen nos presenta el video de "Heaven" el último sencillo de la banda y el track que le da nombre a su más reciente producción. El video está lleno de fotos de la banda, de cuando empezaban por ahí del 2000, y de la última gira. Enjoy.    

The Walkmen take you on a trip down memory lane with this set of visuals for the absolutely stunning title-track off their recently released, seventh studio album, Heaven . It has quickly become one of my favorite songs of the year thus far, and this video only intensifies my appreciation for the record. Hats off to Alex Southam for the directorial efforts and Pitchfork.tv for the premiere.

The Walkmen's masterful new album Heaven is finally out, and the brand-new video for the title track uses photo collages and archival footage to show the band's evolution over the years. It turns out they weren't always quite as suave as they are now. In the video, we see old photos of the band members clutching instruments as kids and, I'm pretty sure, a quick glimpse of the lamented pre-Walkmen band Jonathan Fire*Eater. Alex Southam directs.

Se dice que cuando vamos al otro mundo, vemos pasar nuestra vida ante nuestros ojos, secuencias de aquellas cosas que quedaron grabadas en nuestras retinas, yo espero que la mía se parezca a este vídeo de “Heaven”, todo un homenaje a la carrera de The Walkmen , que, por cierto, nos acaba de regalar un disco excepcional, disponible en streaming y al que este tema da nombre.

Last week, the Walkmen announced the details of their new album Heaven , which I'm pretty much frothing at the mouth to hear right now.

The song itself starts around 3:50, and it sounds really good. Watch it below. Read More...

Out June 5th on Fat Possum.

Earlier this month, great New York indie wailers the Walkmen posted a goofy medley of U2 covers , which they'd apparently recorded in a delirious burst of energy to celebrate the fact that they were done recording their new album. Then, literally minutes after we were done putting together our Most Anticipated Albums list , the band announced its plans to release new LP Heaven , the follow-up to 20102s excellent Lisbon .

On Saturday night, Bob Weir, the Grateful Dead legend, played a show at his own TRI Studios in San Rafael, California. At the show, he was backed by a one-off band called the Bridge Session. As Rolling Stone reports , that group included the National's Aaron Dessner and Bryan and Scott Devondorf, as well as Doveman and members of the Walkmen, Takka Takka, and the Yellowbirds. About 100 people crammed into the tiny room, and the band played a bunch of Dead classics, as well as covers of Bob Dylan and, of all people, Cass McCombs. [...]

The annual Sasquatch festival, definitely a festival that I need to attend in the very near future, announced a killer line up for this year's installment.

Also performing this year are Metric, Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, The Head [...]
