The Walkmen announce new album, tour, free single

The Walkmen - Stranded [mp3]
from Lisbon (out on Sept 14th in the US on Fat Possum Records and on Oct 11th in the UK on Bella Union Records)

it kind of sounds like an ol' time band tribute to a military officer. really really uncharacteristic of the NY band, but a solid track nonetheless
