CD review for The Walkmen

Jimmy Westlake: A dolphin, an arrow and a coat hanger
Sunday, Aug. 24, 2008

They aren’t big and showy star patterns with lots of bright stars like Orion or the Big Dipper, but are, instead, small and compact and easy to spot only because of their distinctive shapes. They are Delphinus, the Dolphin, and Sagitta, the Arrow. The Dolphin and the Arrow are neatly tucked in under the wing of the nearby constellation of Aquila, the Eagle, marked by its bright star Altair.
