Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone was among my favorite records from 2002; the debut full-length was warmly ...

Even though this is the second time around on a major label for most of the Walkmen -- whose previous incarnation, Jonathan Fire*Eater, rather famously dissolved after their first (and last) album for Dreamworks, Wolf Songs for Lambs, failed to live up to the label's sales expectations -- the band's second album, Bows + Arrows (which was released by the Warner Brothers imprint Record Collection), certainly doesn't sound like your typical major-label debut.
