when the walkman's 2008 gem, You & Me came out, i was inundated with so much good music at the time, it unfortunately went widely unnoticed. it didn't reappear onto my radar again until a year later, when i met this guy totally obsessed with the record.
fast forward another year and while that particular guy isn't around anymore, his affection for the new york based five piece has left an imprint on me. with their sixth studio album, Lisbon due this September, personal anticipation is even higher thanks to the release of the record's first single, "stranded".
brass heavy and heartbreakingly romantic, it's once again a tale of love lost, but this time set against the infamous and lonely bourbon-soaked streets of new orleans.
if you don't want me, you can tell me,
-t
