Hamilton Leithauser - Black Hours

Debut album from the lead singer of The Walkmen

180-gram heavyweight double vinyl

Includes bonus EP of four songs and MP3 download card

Inaugurating a new chapter in an already remarkable career from The Walkmen front man, this album brings Leithauser full circle and then some, from lonely midwinter piano-and-vocals sessions, to a loud, live rock 'n' roll group and back again. Featuring Leithauser with collaborators including Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), Paul Maroon (The Walkmen), Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes), Richard Swift (The Shins/solo), Amber Coffman (Dirty Projectors) who provides backing vocals on several numbers and even Hugh McIntosh of Leithauser's first band, the Recoys, returns for a pair of songs, Black Hours showcases Leithauser at his most passionate, personal and free.
