Best known as The Walkmen's frontman & songwriter, Hamilton Leithauser will release his debut solo album, "Black Hours".
Black Hours brings Leithauser full circle and then some, from a loud, live rock'n'roll group to lonely midwinter piano-and-vocals sessions and back again. Featuring Leithauser with a slew of talented collaborators including Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), Paul Maroon (The Walkmen), Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes) and Richard Swift (The Shins/solo), the album showcases Leithauser at his most passionate, personal and free.
In its orchestrated rhythms, dynamic vocals and generous production, Black Hours speaks from one booming voice. The instrumentation gives muscle and texture: Maroon covering a wide range of acoustic and electric guitars as well as grand piano; Batmanglij switching between guitar, harpsichord, piano, bass and harmonica; Morgan Henderson from Fleet Foxes takes the marimba and upright bass, and Richard Swift lays down impressive drums on seven tracks (Henderson & Swift will be accompanying Leithauser on a full U.S. tour). Amber Coffman from Dirty Projectors provides backing vocals on several numbers and even Hugh McIntosh of Leithauser's first band, the Recoys, returns to the drum stool for a pair of songs.
