The Walkmen

In December 2008, when The Walkmen delivered their evocative performance of “Another One Goes By” at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, they were riding high on the wave of their latest album, *You & Me*, which had been released just a few months earlier in September. This album marked a significant growth in their sound, blending haunting melodies with introspective lyrics that resonated deeply with fans. During this live recording, you can hear the band’s signature instrumentation and sincere delivery, demonstrating why they have garnered such a passionate following. Interestingly, *You & Me* features themes of nostalgia and fleeting time, which align beautifully with the live energy captured in this performance. It’s like a snapshot of the band's evolution—caught between their earlier garage rock roots and a more refined, atmospheric sound. The intimate venue of the Masonic Temple certainly added to the emotional weight of the night.
