Listen: The Walkmen – We Can’t Be Beat

Listen — By Andrew Evans on 08/05/12

We’ve already heard quite a few cuts from The Walkmen’s upcoming 7th album, Heaven, which is due out in June.

And now we have another. Not that we’re complaining. ‘We Can’t Be Beat’ is a lovely acoustic lament that builds into a warm-hearted foot-stomper in its closing stages.

When describing Heaven, singer Hamilton Leithauser says:“The detachment you can feel throughout our younger records is gone.  We felt like it was time to make a bigger, more generous statement.” 

Hurry up June the 4th.
