The Walkmen
The Walkmen have pumped out waves upon waves of big, hooky rock that scrapes at memories of ’60s garage while beating with an anguished, contemporary heart. Spacious guitar effects and swirls of organ keep the songs’ musical intentions nice and murky, but the band has a lot to put on display, particularly on the panoramic songs from 2010’s Lisbon, its first LP for Fat Possum. The Walkmen’s continued minimalism lets them bat about ideas and sounds from reverb-drenched Sun Records singles to surf songs to New Orleans brass, making for their most expressive and tuneful work yet.
