New Walkmen

The Walkmen lost me after 2002’s Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone. I liked Bows & Arrows well enough, but it was definitely lacking that certain je ne sais quoi, and so my interest in the band tapered off pretty rapidly. But do I like what I’ve heard thus far from their new one, You & Me (full album stream here), and you have to appreciate their gesture of offering a special $5 Amie St. download of the album, with all proceeds going to benefit the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
