The Walkmen Release Live EP, Tour

Late last summer, The Walkmen sent us You & Me, a gorgeously fuzzy postcard from tiny islands, foreign provinces, and wherever else the New-York fivesome was apparently enjoying a splendid holiday. We didn't care so much exactly where it came from, we just knew it added an umbrella to an already delicious drink.
