The Walkmen have recorded some great rock songs. Since their 2002 debut, the awesomely-titled Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone, the New York band has evolved from a plinking and skittering vintage-indie band into something far more driven. A highlight along the way, of course: the band's teetering-on-the-edge masterwork, "The Rat," which is easily one of the decades' great rock performances. So check out "Heaven," the title track from the band's forthcoming release. Tighter, groovier guitar lines and a grander sense of melody belie the sense that everything could still come unhinged. Remember, remember, what we are fighting for. Great tracks like this, certainly.
