The Walkmen

Title TBD August

After preppy New York rockers the Walkmen gave up their Harlem studio, they spent a leisurely two years cutting their fourth disc in Mississippi, New Jersey and New York. "We edited ourselves this time," says singer Hamilton Leithauser. Among the carefully crafted gems are the Pete Seeger-style "Canadian Girl," the folk-rock waltz "Red Moon" and the Roy Orbison-inspired "I Lost You," complete with strings and horns.
