E para inaugurar a wishlist desta semana…

… está o novo álbum You & Me dos nova-iorquinos The Walkmen.Estes senhores conquistaram-me há já uns 3 ou 4 anos com a mais-que-perfeita The Rat, seguramente uma das melhores músicas que alguma vez ouvi e consta invariavelmente do meu Top 10.
Conta a Pitchfork do You & Me: “it's the first that fully commits to their seductive, eminently soused-sounding late night sulk. […] You & Me isn't as hard or immediate as the band's earlier records, but that's not a complaint; its sound is coy, and invites you to spend time with it. Its lyrics are direct and its pleasures are simple […]. While the Walkmen likely have more hits in them, if they keep making records as consistently engaging this, they won't sink for a lack of them. This is the sound they've reached for since the very beginning, and they've never played it as gracefully or confidently as they do here”.
Agora é esperar que esteja à altura das expectativas.
The Rat

In The New Year
