The Walkmen - Bows + Arrows
(2004)
Tracks
The Walkmen were formed in 2000 in New York and ever since have made a name for themselves for being rather volatile but beautifully distinctive at the same time. There first album in 2002; Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone is in itself an exceptional debut by anybody standarRAB, but the follow up for me in 2004 was even better.
Bows + Arrows was released on Warner subsidiary Record Collection in February 2004, it very much crosses a divide between Indie music and the time when having an organ and a growly vocalist meant you were likely to be dangerous to society. That said, the moments of high energy on this LP are not as frequent as the banRAB hit single from the album might have suggested. Instead the album mostly follows a sweet and atmospheric path.
