The Walkmen – “Christmas Party” MP3/download
I almost forgot about this cherish-worthy track The Walkmen released an X-mas or two ago. It starts with a wistful recap of the day’s festivities a la Charlie Brown’s Christmas, leap-frogs into some tom-totalling drumming, sleigh bell ringing, parlor piano, that same ol’ guitar presence and Hamilton Leithauser‘s croon I can’t seem to get enough of these days.
A few years ago a free Walkmen track generated a lot of buzz, and I have a feeling this tune would garner even more attention if it were released in 2009, as You & Me has attracted a lot of attention.
Well, just trust Gumshoe to bring you the goods and stop reading those other damn sites.
