In June 2012, The Walkmen performed at the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, a pivotal moment as it coincided with their release of the album "Heaven," which came out just a week earlier on June 4, 2012. This album marked a return to the forefront for the band after a period of relative quiet since their 2010 release, "Lisbon." "Heaven" was not only well-received but also showcased the band’s mature sound, evolving from their earlier style while maintaining the distinct indie rock essence they’re known for. This live performance highlighted their energetic stage presence and commitment to their craft during a phase of renewed artistic exploration. Additionally, it reflects their established reputation in the indie music scene and their ability to gather a dedicated audience, further solidifying their legacy in the genre.
