The Walkmen

In July 2010, The Walkmen delivered a captivating live performance of "On The Water" at the XPN Festival in Camden, a moment steeped in the energy of their evolving sound. At this time, they had recently released their album, *Lisbon*, in September 2009. The album marked a significant point in their artistic trajectory, showcasing a more subdued, introspective sound that contrasted with their earlier, more frenetic works. This period was a notable turning point for the band, reflecting their growth as musicians and storytellers. An interesting tidbit about this particular live recording is how it captures the raw essence of their live shows—their chemistry and the nuanced instrumentation create an immersive experience that fans crave. It’s moments like these that really highlight their ability to translate studio precision into a vibrant, dynamic live setting. So, as they rocked Wiggins Park that day, one could truly feel the spirit of a band confidently exploring new sonic horizons.
