Hi there everyone, time for my blog. This blog will just be me writing review on music, film, pop culture, but mostly my ramblngs!
First up, my review of New York 5-piece The Walkmen's new album 'LISBON'.
This is fast becoming my favourite Album of the year. I have to admit, i was a very late comer to the Walkmen. At the end of last year i picked up You and Me and fell in love with these guys.
The Walkmen are known for their melancholy songs and music, but Lisbon feels much more joyous, even if the lyrics are some what sad. First single 'Stranded' is covered in beautiful horns. It reminds me of Christmas day with friends and family around a fire drinking tea.Just magical. If i had to pick a favourite song, and it is difficult on this album, it would be Woe is Me. Just a killer track. Same with Angela Surf City and Juveniles, just jangly, joyous music!
Below is a striped back version of Woe is Me at Gothamist House. Beautiful.
