The Walkmen, "Woe is Me"

While The Strokes and countless other bands from New York’s infamous Class of 2001 have stumbled, The Walkmen remain Gotham’s finest rock act, echoing their debut full-length’s title, Everybody Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone. This deep cut off new album Lisbon might appear to be another of the band’s patented dejected folk-rock numbers, but rather than wallow in “woe” about a recent break-up, Hamilton Leithauser and group are on the rebound. The song is as light, effervescent and poppy as the ginger ale the song’s protagonist and his new lover sip. -- Andy Beta
