The new Walkmen record comes out next month, but they have been playing tracks from the record live for the last couple of months. This track comes from a show in Columbus last month. From the few tracks I’ve heard off the new record, I think it’s going to be even better than “Bows + Arrows.”

Stockholm's Shout Out Louds have just finished their US tour in support of the new album Optica with a two-night stand at LA's El Rey Theater. It was their first visit to the city in three years. If you haven't heard them before, their music can be described as often bleakly wistful lyrics completely camouflaged by bright, sunny tunes (More...)
Magnolia Electric Co. – Baton Rouge – 9/27/2006
The terrible news yesterday was of Jason Molina’s passing. Jason was the force behind the Songs: Ohia moniker (largely for his own solo work) and Magnolia Electric Co (which saw him working with a regular band).

Magnetic Fields – Andrew In Drag (Live)
In March of 2012 Stephen Merrit released the best Magnetic Fields album since 2004's i. The album features songs with classic Stephin Merritt charm and benefits from vast improvements in production over recent releases. This album should have been nothing but aces, but it could have been a whole lot better (More...)
i love live recordings, but dammit, i wanted to hear the horns. i’m sure you know this, but they have a studio Louisiana on their myspace page. nonetheless, i agree with you on it being better than bows and arrows
I like the produced version of this track as well, but there’s a lot to be said about the Walkmen’s live sound, even if it’s missing the horns. Their music is like drunken stumbling turned into an elegant dance, and their live sound achieves this quality even more than the blessedly unproduced recordings on their albums.
