i've listened to it quite a bit. no, it's not as good as 'you & me' (i agree with you that they'll never beat that one- it couldn't be more perfect). it does sound a bit too smooth- i think a rougher sound suits them really well. it ditches a lot of the world-weariness in favor of this real anthemic sound- the title track, for example. 'southern heart' is a beautiful song and the last suite of songs leading up to the end are all really interesting.[/quote]angelsighs wrote: anyone heard the new Walkmen? I had a sneaky listen online and it's sounding okay but maybe a bit too.. smooth? I don't think they will ever beat You & Me in my eyes.
yeah for me You & Me really does seem to sum up the bands sound perfectly, and the slightly rougher production really suits them. some of the guitar tones are just gorgeous on that album
how would you say Heaven compares to Lisbon?
