A Hundred Miles Off

The Walkmen

A restless collection of urban folk and jittery indie rock. Brass swells and upright pianos meet a voice that sounds like a late-night confession in a dusty bar.

Find on Amazon

It sounds like a very talented band playing their hearts out in a dusty New York basement at 3 AM.

A restless, boozy journey through urban nostalgia and the quiet desperation of adulthood.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The triumphant, celebratory brass section that opens Louisiana, signaling a shift toward a more expansive, soulful sound.
The frantic, jittery guitar line in All Hands and the Cook that feels like a nervous system on the verge of a breakdown.
The skeletal, haunting piano melody on Another One Goes By that closes the album in a haze of beautiful exhaustion.
