Three of the Walkmen’s Lisbon bonus tracks are now online since the album has now officially been released. The songs were put on various online retailers such as iTunes & Amazonmp3 that came with a purchase of the bands new album. The three that I have here for streaming purposes are “Orange Sunday”, “All Black and White”, and “Grateful”.
“Orange Sunday” is a vintage tune that sounds like the band is playing with the water on their backs, and a bright moon over their heads. Quite a vocal performance from Mr. Hamilton Leithauser. Shame this one was left off the album, because it’s beautiful. “All Black and White” is a thumping Walkmen track with island influences sprinkled all over. There are the vintage tuned guitars that wouldn’t sound too out of place on any of their albums. Finally we got “Grateful”, a lovely track that is sincere, hopeful, and, well….grateful.
Stream them all below. Be sure to grab Lisbon if you haven’t already.
