Released in 2014, Black Hours marks the debut solo outing from Hamilton Leithauser, best known as the frontman of The Walkmen. The album showcases his distinctive reedy-yet-supple voice in a richly cinematic setting, drawing on influences that blend classic pop sensibility with indie rock depth. With guest contributions from Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend and Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors, it's a record that feels both intimately personal and remarkably expansive.
From its dramatic opening moments, Black Hours establishes itself as a showcase for Leithauser's growth as a vocalist and songwriter, weaving together pensive piano, lush strings, and theatrical performances that critics praised for their emotional complexity. Released on Ribbon Music and pressed on 180 gram vinyl, this edition delivers the warm, full sound that the album's cinematic arrangements deserve.
