The Walkmen Reveal New Album Details

The Walkmen Reveal New Album Details After a couple years of rehearsals in warehouses and converted nightclubs, countless hours shuttling band members between Philly and New York on the Chinatown bus, hundreds of discarded demos, and a distance of many miles separating recording sessions in Oxford, Mississippi and the Big Apple, the Walkmen have finally put the finishing touches on their fourth proper LP, You & Me. The set, clocking in just short of an hour, is due August 19 from their new label, Gigantic Music.

Come August, the Walkmen will bring You & Me to you and I, as they spend a little time on the road in North America.
