What you say No-one has reviewed Bows & Arrows by The Walkmen yet. Give us your opinion on Bows & Arrows by The Walkmen. What we say This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic. The Walkmen....Ah! The Walkmen! Grandoise, epic, totally distinctive & rather bloody excellent. This New York 5 piece blew me totally out of the window with the single, 'The Rat', a frantic euphoric number about being fucked over by someone, no doubt. (& included here!) There's nothing else quite so astonishing on here but how could you better perfection? Anyone who's heard their earlier work will attest, these guys know how to make a breathtaking torch song.  Somewhere between The Associates & Joshua Tree era U2 (in that whole soul wrenching dramatic way, NOT the stadium pomposity, natch!) married with the lo-fi basement roughness of The Strokes. Even touches of the post rock cannon are brushed upon ala Sigur Ros or Godspeed on one track. You really have to hear them for yourselves. A very special & almost monumental group. Buybuybuy!

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.

'what on earth do you think you're looking at?'
