The Walkmen

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

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]

 

 

Emerging from waves of crashing cymbals and fuzzed-out guitars comes a raw, angry wail. Like other NYC bands including Interpol and the Strokes, The Walkmen rely on layers of reverb and distorted guitars and draw upon influences ranging from early U2 to the Velvet Underground. Lacking the droning vocals of Interpol or the clinical precision of the Strokes, the Walkmen have crafted a sound filled with desperation and bitter honesty. "Bows And Arrows" begins much the way its predecessor did, with wave   [ read more ]

In the spring of 2000, Walter, Matt, and Paul (whose band had recently broken up) rounded up enough investors to rent a Harlem industrial space and convert it into a 24-track analogue recording studio. Dubbed "Marcata Recording," the new space became the birthplace and home of the Walkmen. Joining the three were Walter's cousin Hamilton and his friend Peter (both of whom had been slaving away in the East Village as the Recoys); the lineup was complete. Over the course of the next year, the band sedulously w   [ read more ]

The Walkmen have been solidifying their position as one of the most important bands in the alternative music community with their previous releases, Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone and Bows And Arrows. Extensive touring, media prominence, critical acclaim, national modern rock radio airplay, and TV performances have helped establish the band in the music community. A Hundred Miles Off is their most solid effort yet. "Dylan meets Joy Division" - Uncut. "The dram   [ read more ]

During John Lennon's separation from Yoko Ono in 1974, he romped around LA with his buddy Harry Nilsson, getting drunk and getting thrown out of nightclubs. In the midst of the party, Lennon, Nilsson, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, and a rag-tag gang of others headed into the studio with Lennon as producer. The result was Pussy Cats, a fascinating and often misunderstood album featuring a mix of classics and originals rearranged by Nilsson and Lennon to suit the wild mood of those infamous days.

You & Me is a solid and complex collection of inspired songwriting. Romantic and celebratory, this is the sound of The Walkmen returning to classic form. The music that influenced the Walkmen to compose You & Me follows in a tradition of song writing that traces back to early rock'n'roll: the intimacy and energy of Elvis Presley's and Buddy Holly's early recordings, and the massive voice and orchestration of Roy Orbison. With some romance and drama, You & Me harnesses the i   [ read more ]
