Sounds a bit like Heaven

As of late, I've been a little obsessed with my eightieth pick.

Artist - The Walkmen
Album - Heaven
Released - 2012
Label - Fat Possum Records
Genre - Indie Rock


Tracks:
A
We Can't Be Beat
Love is Luck
Heartbreaker
The Witch
Southern Heart
Line by Line
B
Song for Leigh
Nightingales
Jerry Jr.'s Tune
The Love You Love
Heaven
No One Ever Sleeps
Dreamboat

The seventh album by The Walkmen, I believe this albums title holds true to this record.  To me, it is simply Heaven and I've been obsessed with it for the past month or so, whenever I first heard it.  Each song is just so beautiful and Hamilton's voice makes it just more intense.  A nice blend of songs on one album makes for this perfect blend of what I think is their best record.  From the start of their career to now, their albums have just gotten better and better.  I'm trying to decipher the images on this album, since all members of the band are holding children, their children I believe, which could mean this would constitute a stripped down, more adult type sound they are projecting on this record. We Can't Be Beat is a good one, then my favorite would is Southern Heart.  I swoon at the fact that I can sit here, listen to this record and fall in love.

Enjoy!
