The Walkmen - "In the New Year"

The Walkmen

Thank you Stereogum. Thank you for posting the debut track from the new Walkmen record, You & Me. After seeing them forcefully jam out on some new tunes back in April with Spoon, I have been anticipating any hints as to how those songs would sound recorded. This album should be awesome. Just listen to the Dylan-esque crooning. That grating reverby guitar we have come to know The Walkmen for. The calypso sounding keys. That drumming, HOLY SHIT THE DRUMMING. If it's not great, I will just die.

Anyway, I got myself an imeem account, so listen for yourselves.
