In a hazy sound that’s reminiscent of Dylan (bob) The Walkmen have prereleased their new album on Amie Street for an amazing price of $5 (for 14 songs, can’t beat that) with all the proceeds going to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as part of the site’s “Download To Make a Difference” campaign.

Its a pretty admirable thing to do and for a $5 donation these days, you can’t beat getting free music (thats less then two gallons of gas!!). Not to mention the fact that the sound is pretty good. Like the cut from Canadian Girl (Canadian Girls are HOT!) or the also good New Contry, most of the tunes on this disc are worth a listen.

The Walkmen are a five-piece indie rock band from New York City, and along with Interpol and The Strokes are often mentioned when describing the modern “New York sound,” a second wave of NYC-based rock bands following in the footsteps of icons like Joy Division, the Velvet Underground, and Television.
