The beloved yet publically underappreciated Walkmen seemingly broke up a couple of years back. Or, actually, what they've done is pulli a Kiss in 1978—frontman Leithauser, bassist-organist Walter Martin and organist-bassist Peter Bauer all released solo albums within weeks of each other. Naturally, as he is the voice, Leithauser has always carried a large portion of the East Coast band's DNA. On his latest solo venture, the raspy frontman conjures tales of a faded New York as he croons his way through songs produced by former Vampire Weekend multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij.
