The Walkmen

Just got their album (Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone) and it's really great.

They've got a really great sound, which I don't know if it was intended or due to lack of high quality recording equipment. Either way, they're really awesome.

A little of both, I think. They were Jonathan Fire Eater, more or less, a while back, and were on a major label, so they probably made EWPTLMIG on the cheap.....but I'm sure they now that lo-fi aesthetic suits them well. Evidence: that piano ain't tuned quite right, but it just works, ya know?

Who says that? I like 'em and I can't wait 'till their next album (which they hope to finish recording by the end of the year)

Are they even big enough to be one hit wonders?

I assumed that was sarcasm that didn't play too well...
