The Walkmen

In September 2010, when The Walkmen performed "Postcards From Tiny Islands" at The Clubhouse in Tempe, they were riding the wave of their album *Lisbon*, which had been released just a year earlier. This album, characterized by its mellow yet evocative sound, showed the band’s evolution and their willingness to experiment with mood and texture. Interestingly, *Lisbon* marked a slight departure from their earlier, more frenetic work, reflecting a more relaxed and reflective state. During this live performance, fans could witness the band’s signature chemistry, with Hamilton Leithauser's soaring vocals and the tight-knit instrumentation creating a palpable sense of intimacy. It's hard not to get lost in how this concert encapsulated the late summer vibe, threading nostalgia and discovery together seamlessly. Does anyone else find that live recordings have a special way of capturing the essence of a band’s journey?
