    The Walkmen "Heaven" - 2012 LP

    I've been pretty adamant about my favorite album so far this year.....Father John Misty's "Fear Fun".  It's a mastpiece in the vien of a classic Neil Young album or Highway 61 Revisted....It's been the benchmark for me in 2012.....On my walk to the studio this morning I threw on the new Walkmen record....It's  close...Damn close, to the best album I've heard this year.....The Walkmen have grown up.....The Walkmen have a progression....starting with Bows & Arrows, then You and Me, then Lisbon.....now Heaven.....each album gets a little better.  Heaven sounds like it's title.....orchestral vox/great stories/wall'o sOUnd/modern indie rock/amazing arrangements.....Fleet Foxes, Robin Pecknold even sits in to sing on a track.....Now I wanna run to the studio....I wanna complete every half-way finished project all at once....and dear lawd is there a lot of ace on the Venice b-walk today...i wanna slap them all and take off running like a fiend...ha...oh mane...I've used that before...(who says that twice!?!?!?!).get this:
