The Walkmen premiere video, release live session, tour the US
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater August 21st, 2009

The Walkmen have premiered the video for 'On The Water', taken from their current album You & Me. You can watch the video - which features CGI rabbits and farmers - over at Pitchfork or below, if you fancy it. It all ends rather horribly, though.

In other Pitchfork vs. The Walkmen news, their most recognisable song to date, 'The Rat', scuttled in at No. 20 in their countdown of the top 500 (Yes, that IS a lot...) of the decade. No 1. was Outkast's 'B.O.B', a deserved winner.

An exclusive live session EP from the band is available on iTunes now, and they've also just announced a US Tour. Details below:
