Finally something in our inbox to take us by surprise. Seriously, guys, if we get another instagram-filtered press-still that features 3-4 mop-topped youths backed by a band name like Beavers or Arms or Hugs playing (as described in the press release as) “hazy synth pop” we’re putting all y’all on block. OK, so our friend Rudi Zygadlo. The track on offer here “Melpomene” is not that. It’s atmospheric, but in a way that is dramatic and focused, all attention pulled to the center. But the construction, the way the tune is structured is neat too. “Melpomene” almost reminds in a way of Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time in its dynamism-on-top-of-a-pinpoint that purveys that tension between the piano (power) and supportive atmosphere/vocals (release).

The Walkmen have delivered Heaven, an album that will probably land on my year-end list. The title track is the current single, but “Heartbreaker” is my personal fave. Check it out below, and be sure to catch them on tour. A little small world note is that my eventual adventures with B3Sci began at a Walkmen SXSW gig in ’05. Mike of B3Sci and I were in line next to each other and started chatting. The rest is history. – By Bruce Rave
