Preview of The Walkmen’s “Lisbon”

Posted by Brandon Kim on
The Walkmen gave a sneak preview of their forthcoming record “Lisbon” to WNYC’s “Soundcheck” and it sounded delightful. They’ve been an impressive band since their ’02 debut and have continued to nurture a sound that sticks out with conspicuous maturity among their peers. I don’t think The Walkmen have ever sounded more grown up than they do now on “Lisbon.” The song “Juveniles” comes to mind as a case in point, check that out below. And if, like me, you could not sit by the radio for the entire show at the time, here’s your chance to hear it all.
