With the announcement that his band The Walkmen would go on hiatus, Hamilton Leithauser found himself free to experiment with new sounds. His first solo record, Black Hours, was a nice reintroduction, but teaming up with longtime friend, and former Vampire Weekend member, Rostam, really proved to be recipe for a new direction. The two dove into everything from choirs to doo wop and everything in between, and the result, I Had A Dream That You Were Mine, is one of the best records of the year.
