The follow-up to their 2004 album BOW + ARROWS, HUNDRED MILES OFF finds the Walkmen refining and expanding their stylistic palette. The Walkmen are often incorrectly lumped in with the garage and new-wave revivals, and while one can certainly hear elements of the Velvet Underground and Joy Division on HUNDRED MILES OFF, the ragged poetry of Bob Dylan's late-'60s work looms large here. This is not to say the album lacks its share of indie guitars and punky energy, but these elements are balanced with a poignant yearning and an artful sense of composition that sets the album, and its creators, apart from the indie rock pack.
