The Walkmen

Back in October 2008, when The Walkmen graced the stage at La Maroquinerie in Paris, they were riding high on the wave of their fourth studio album, *You & Me*, which had been released just a month earlier. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing a more introspective and melodic side of the band. With songs like “In the New Year” and “Red Moon,” it encapsulated their signature indie rock sound while diving deeper into more personal themes. Interestingly, the live performance of “I Lost You,” captured in this very recording, highlights the raw energy and emotional grit that The Walkmen were known for. It’s fascinating how their music often blends nostalgia with a sense of urgency, making every note feel like a shared experience with the audience. Plus, the choice of venue—La Maroquinerie—presented an intimate setting, allowing the band to connect deeply with fans in a city that has always embraced music in its many forms.
