The Walkmen - Lisbon (2010)

Genre: Indie | Label: Fat Possum | 11 tracks | USA

Since their beginnings a decade ago, NY/Philly outfit The Walkmen have appreciably refined their more immediate and primal indie rock into an expansive sound that comfortably travels in adventurous new circles. Bands grow up, writing matures, creative strategies shift...but few have traversed the stylistic road quite as seamlessly and effectively as The Walkmen. Not so much a sea change as a continuing series of subtle but sizable shifts, the acclaimed You & Me (2008) became a muted exploration of mood and atmosphere as frontman Hamilton Leithauser evolved his Dylanish wail into an instrument capable of nuance and emotive texture. "Intimate, intense and beautiful" declared The Guardian.

New album Lisbon (September 14, Fat Possum) promises "a bunch of fast rockers and big bashers, and a couple great oddballs" says Leithauser, with lead track "Stranded" -- one of the album's earliest recorded tracks -- certainly falling into the latter category. Surrounded by a stately brass choir and rolling, dramatic drum beats, Leithauser rides the theatrical aspects of the song -- an odd mix of Peggy Lee torch and Tom Waits-ian Crescent City funereal pomp -- and delivers one of the most mournful and unforgettable songs of recent memory. Over two years in the making and then wrapped in March with producer John Congleston (St. Vincent), Lisbon has already deserved it's anticipatory itch. Some bands you want to hear -- this is one we need. After five albums, The Walkmen are just hitting their stride.
