Music Review of You & Me by The Walkmen

"The Walkmen" is a five-piece indie rock of New York. The Walkmen composed of Hamilton Leithauser (vocals, guitar), Paul Maroon (guitar and piano), Walter Martin (organ, bass), Peter Bauer (bass / organ) and Matt Barrick (Drums). His style of music is primarily indie rock, post-punk revival and a bit of garage rock.

You & Me "begins with" Where Is the Beach ". The combination of low and the body is very good. At first listen, it sounded weird. But after a few listens, my perception towards background music as Hamilton sings everything changed. Is repeated again and again until the battery and the projection of the guitar in the chorus, which sings Hamilton effort, I'm dancing, grooving, this beautiful wood floors … The eyes are so sore … "The Walkmen just knowing when and where to meet and strong. A beginning in mid tempo.

Flamingos (For Colbert) "is an instrumental piece. Guitars can only be heard on this track. It could have been an introduction for this album.

The Walkmen continued with "The Water", a theme that has some similarities with the first track. The guitar accompaniment is heard singing Hamilton. As this song is deeper and the music becomes ever richer and more complete. Sometimes, Hamilton knows only how to use your voice to maximum, groaning and screaming. Near the end, I like the sound of whistling. The only water complements both!

"In the new year" down with some guitar riffs and singing Hamilton. When the choir, music as a transfer to a more complete form. The most notable instrument is the organ. It comes from the special connection with Hamilton's song, "I know that is true, be a good year, darkness, and into the fire, I'll say I love you … "Every time the chorus, The Walkmen have done a very good job in lifting the New Year in another way. Sometimes I just think Christmas while listening to this title. Ho, ho, ho!

Seven Years holiday (for Stretch) "is a energetic touch and rolling drums. In verse, is the drums and guitar only conquer the song with the voice of Hamilton. When the chorus is, the entire track works right gear. The music has to move shakes his head, and Hamilton's voice could not have better time. Great stuff here!

"Postcards From Small Islands" sounds like Seven Years of Holidays (For Stretch) to start the drum beats, but this time is faster. As Hamilton sings, the drums sound sweet, but quick. Only Hamilton and accompanying guitar sings. When it reaches the chorus, like its predecessors, breaks out the guitar music with a catchy repetitive brackets. There seems to be two different parts in the postcards of small islands. What a feat!

"Luna Roja" left my mouth open as I do not expect the Walkmen with a slow ballad. But they do Red Moon and fill the track with incredible piano. Sometimes it's hard to imagine that Hamilton singing the ballad. Not only the piano, French horn also find this ballad. I love the combination of three instruments in this track, guitar, piano and French horn. The Walkmen wonderful stay.

"Canadian Girl "is actually an incredible track You & Me! Has a feeling of jazz to it. And I do not blame you if you swing in Canada Girl.'s So good! Most time, Hamilton can be heard dragging his voice after every sentence or words between the words. "And you always call me … … But … I still hanging … "As you swing with a Canadian girl, the more you do, the more it becomes music. The French horn also play the voice after Hamilton the last feature on this track. The other 1:20 minutes only is beautiful, enjoy this unforgettable.

"Four Provinces "brought back guitar riffs of The Walkmen. The constant interaction of percussion can be heard in four provinces. In the chorus, I love Hamilton sings: "Hey, you, me get through Is there a silver lining over the weekend … Hey, I get through? The candles burning in the eyes more … "Especially the sentence:" Hey, you, I get through? "Hamilton just sort of screams when he sings that line, then Back to soften the next line. Sometimes I feel like singing. Check the guitar riffs and percussion that way as well.

"Long time before it "took a lot of words." When you come, come at night, and left me in the middle of the night, take me tonight that I am, let me How I Met … "This track by The Walkmen is slow and sometimes it seems they can never leave. He managed to want more, but the music does not seem to be playing same circle. As at the end, only then the French horn with success since the trail again on the line.

"The Blue Road "has a catchy guitar hook and really happy. I feel very in tune with this issue, has the same quality as the Canadian Girl. Making swaying and moving his head to the left right. Only here, the sound of the guitar is very echogenic and can be heard almost 98% of the time. It's simple, but still able to create a print time. The Walkmen are creating a guitar sound barrier in the Blue Route! Unforgettable!

"New country" is as the title suggests. Country has some elements there, that sounds newer and more modern. Only the guitar is heard every Hamilton sings play. It is a fairly constant effort of the star at the end. The Walkmen are not looking to add specific sounds or touch. But it is still a good effort.

"I Lost You" starts on the guitar and the horn in the background. It seems very clear from the outset Hamilton and sings as if he were too tired to drive another song. "Drive On, the drive, the road is bright and long, the river overflows, the fire to houses … Gradually, in this way, the guitar seems to have some energy and strength begin to play stronger than Hamilton sings. The second half of I Lost You "is just full of guitar riffs, as if competing with the voice of Hamilton.

"Just Like Heaven" is a minor issue rate is essentially Hamilton's voice and guitar of The Walkmen. "He has the distinction of being the last title of an album. It is a good choice decide to end Walkmen with You & Me If If only it was true. Hamilton sings the last words before ending with You & Me: "So asking for me, because my dream baby is not over, and when, when I'm tired, I'm going to die in dreams of you. "Sometimes I think that Hamilton has difficulty sing this paper it seems that the fight with his voice. Another good track and good effort!

Salud!
