The Walkmen: Indie's Timeless, Elevated Garage Rockers

From album one, The Walkmen carved out a unique space in the garage rock landscape. They did so by following a few unspoken rules. One of those was to insist on using only vintage equipment, including a decades old piano and hollow-body guitars. Add Hamilton Leithauser's vocal stylings that ranged from intense to intimate, and the result is a catalog of music that elevated The Walkmen above their peers. From the relentless rage of The Rat to the timeless ballads of their last record Heaven, we pay respects to one of the greatest indie groups from the 2000s. Tracklist: The Walkmen - We've Been Had The Recoys - Song of the Paper Dolls Jonathan Fire Eater - The Search For Cherry Red The Walkmen - Wake Up The Walkmen - My Old Man The Walkmen - The Rat (live on Letterman, 2004) The Walkmen - Woe Is Me The Walkmen - Blue As Your Blood The Walkmen - Song For Leigh This Microwave World - The Party Line This show is part of the Pantheon Podcast network.
