More Walkmen News Paraphrased

Seriously, why don't they tell me this stuff before they go to Pitchfork?

In a bit of a follow-up to yesterday's tracklist announcement, Pitchfork has more details from the Walkmen about A Hundred Miles Off, their novel John's Journey and their Nilsson cover album.

Quickly: Bassist Pete Bauer and keyboardist Walter Martin switched instruments on the new album.

John's Journey isn't a joke.

Neither is Pussy Cats.

The Walkmen have a knack for covers, check out their performance of the Kinks' "Come Dancing" on Last Call with Carson Daly:



And to ease the anticipation, here's a Walkmen tune you might not have, from The Rat single (buy!):

The Walkmen - Clementine

Enjoy!
