The Walkmen‘s excellent new full-length Heaven officially drops two weeks from today on Fat Possum. In anticipation of the record’s release, the group has hooked us up with 5 band-signed copies of their limited Heaven 7″ single, which — in addition to the rousing title track — features the moving non-album b-side “The House You Made.” Listen to the yearning, beautifully crescendoing ballad below, and leave your name + your favorite Walkmen song in the comments to enter:
Heaven is out 5/29 on Fat Possum. Pre-order here.

Tough to choose either Woe is Me or In the New Year
Hmm, probably “Bows and Arrows” from their second album of the same name. It’s just so moving!
138th Street. A combination of somberness, angst, and sincerity. The daytrotter covers are also awesome
The Rat! Thanks!
All Hands and the Cook (Live). Not “live recording” but live. For me it’s the equivalent of doing E. Every single time.
bows + arrows
Favorite song varies by day, but most days it’s probably “I Lost You.”
The Rat!

Little House of Savages
“Seven Years of Holiday” or the title track from Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone
New Country off You & Me. An Absolute Classic Masterpiece.
