This stellar NYC outfit lays down one of the most bruising tracks I've heard in a long time. Everything about this track, from 2004 album Bows and Arrows, screams virtuosity. Drummer Matt Barrick destroys his set, cementing himself as one of today's truly great and original drummers while singer Hamilton Leithauser screams his frustrations, at once scolding with conviction while also timid with weariness. The Walkmen display raw emotion, melding aggression with melody without compromising either one. A masterpiece.
