what a true testiment to the talant and brilliance these artists were blessed with..nothing more pure than the sound of acapella.

On May 13, 2014 Walter Martin of the Walkmen will release his debut solo album 'We're All Young Together' (Family Jukebox). "I'm calling it a family record and I tried to fill it with warmth and humor because that's the kind of art I like - stuff that makes everyone feel welcome," he says. "To me it's a serious record disguised as a not serious record."

The album features guest appearances by Karen O and Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Matt Berninger of the National, Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Kat Edmonson, The Walkmen's Hamilton Leithauser and Matt Barrick, and more.

Martin, multi-instrumentalist in the Walkmen, conceived of 'We're All Young Together' around the time the Walkmen were finishing their 2012 album 'Heaven' and his wife was pregnant with their first child. With fatherhood on the horizon, Martin felt it was time to challenge himself a bit. He had co-written songs for the band since they had formed in 2000 and now it was time to write something for himself.

"I began to imagine a record I really wanted to hear: something new and original that captured the essence of early rock 'n' roll - innocent but mischievous, romantic but funny, and unabashedly sweet," he says. "It wasn't that I wanted to write songs to suit my new situation as a parent, it was more that parenthood made relevant writing the kind of songs I've always loved most."

Among the album's subjects: the virtues of rattlesnakes ("Rattlesnakes"), the not-so-surprising similarities of siblings ("Hey Sister"), and the distinguishing features of each Beatles band member ("The Beatles (When Ringo Shook His Mop)").

Phil Ek (Built To Spill, The Shins, Fleet Foxes) mixed two of the tracks and all the record's artwork was designed by Marcellus Hall, a renowned children's book illustrator and artist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker and Time.

Hey Sister (feat. Kat Edmonson)

Hi Everyone,
Here's a recording from a very special night on New Year's Eve a couple of years ago. They let me sing one of my favourite songs in the world - 'Nobody Does It Better' by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager. "They" being the kind folk at Turning Pirate for the annual New Year's Eve Mixtape in Vicar Street, Dublin. On band leading was one Mr. Gavin Glass; busy exploring the inner workings of his favourite guitar to the benefit of everybody in the room. Tinkling our ivories was our very own, and very dapper, Mr. Cormac Curran. On drums sat an elegantly splayed and angelic Mr. Graham Hopkins whilst on the holy waves of the Hammond swam the effervescent dream of Justin Carroll. On guitar number 2 trickled the supple fingers of one Mr. Travis Lyon whose body was being shaken by the deep bass old-soul of new-kid-on-the-block Mr. Joe Furlong. Blasting out the brass was the effervescent Alison Reynolds on tenor sax, the unquenchable Chris Rooney on trombone, the rhapsodical Kev Foran on trumpet and last, but never least, the staggeringly irrepressible Donagh Molloy on trumpet.  All captured and mixed beautifully by one Mr. Andy Knightley. Enjoy.
