The Walkmen
The Walkmen feature three members from Jonathan Fire Eater and two from the Recoys. When Jonathan Fire Eater disbanded in 1998, the group took the remainder of their Dreamworks funding and established an uptown rehearsal space in New York City that doubles as a 24-track recording studio where they use a wide variety of vintage equipment. The 900-square-foot Harlem industrial space, dubbed Marcata Studios, was completed in the fall of 1999. (Interesting trivia: Bands that have recorded at their studio include labelmates the French Kicks and experimental rocker...[more]

This hotly anticipated release finds two of NYC's most talked-about bands together for the first time! THE WALKMEN contain members of JONATHAN FIRE*EATER and THE RECOYS, and have been gathering intense critical acclaim over the past year. Their sound is a unique blend of early (pre-dance) NEW ORDER and early (pre-LAME) U2, mixed with a little BRUCE (aka: The Boss). Their sound is honest and genuine, unlike most bands who tend to wear their inspirations on their sleeves and leave nothing to their imagination [ read more ]

Waves of dark, shimmering guitar riffs cascade over you as the Walkmen conjure up ghosts of the Velvet Underground on "They're Winning," the introduction to the band's debut, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone. Made up of three survivors of the industry's one-time "future of rock & roll" band, Jonathan Fire*Eater (organist Walter Martin, guitarist Paul Maroon, and drummer Matt Barrick), along with bassist Peter Bauer and vocalist Hamilton Leithauser, the Walkmen co [ read more ]

Remaking an entire album -- especially one as rooted in mood and the performers involved as Harry Nilsson's Pussy Cats -- seems about as wise an idea as Gus Van Sant's shot-by-shot remake of {#Psycho}. Fortunately, the Walkmen's song-by-song redo of Pussy Cats doesn't come off as a half-baked technical exercise. The band remains loyal to the rambling feel of the original (which, to be fair, was half covers itself) and the results are as intimate as an in-joke between old friends. {$The Walkme [ read more ]
