Editor's note

The Walkmen, New York indie rock with a sharp edge

A band that made atmospheric indie rock in the 2000s, known for Hamilton Leithauser's voice and songs like 'The Rat'.

For the full picture, listen to 'The Rat' for the raw energy and 'In The New Year' for the more reflective side. That's the band in two songs.

They carved out a space in the New York indie scene with a sound that felt both urgent and atmospheric. 'The Rat' is the track that still gets talked about, a burst of guitar and frustration that defined a certain 2000s mood. Their albums, from 'Bows + Arrows' to 'Lisbon', hold up as documents of a band that never quite fit a simple mold.

They formed in New York City around 2000 and put out their debut, 'Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone', in 2002. After releasing records through the 2000s, including 'Heaven' in 2012, the band stopped working together in 2014.
