Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam "I Had a Dream That You Were Mine"

wake me up for David Yow + Rostam

I don't think this will wind up as one of my all-timers, but I am really enjoying this now. Great end of summer late night drinking music.
As with The Walkmen, I like the overall sound and arrangements more than the songwriting.

Really enjoying his new collaboration with Angel Olsen. Sounds like it could have easily been part of I Had a Dream That You We're Mine.

Indeed. It really sounds like a Rostam production !
Nice song. Very Christmas-y.

How did I miss this album for two years?!

Good Stuff

loving the new rostam album

love the tousled, slightly off-beat vocals on the verse. roadtrip anthem

When the trucks drive by
I feel 'em sway us side to side
You're underneath a blanket on the backseat
I'm going station to station on the dial

Like the contrast between the delivery of the verses and the chorus on that one

Thanks for the heads-up--this whole album has really grown on me since first checking it out due to this thread!

"4Runner" reminds me both production-wise and lyrically of Kurt Vile ca. "Freeway" and The War On Drugs more generally--a lot of this album nails the feel of a slightly more abstract Vampire/HAIM hybrid, which isn't necessarily surprising but am esp glad he used Henry Solomon on so many of the tracks, someone who I'd only previously heard on HAIM's "Summer Girl" (Solomon paired with those hyper breakbeats on "Kinney" is a big highlight for me).

Am way more into this album as a whole than any of the VW records--FWIW, so far this year, the only three 'indie' rock/pop/folk/R&B/w/e albums to wow me so far have been Buck Meek, Spirit Of The Beehive and now Changephobia (what a clunker of a title though, although I will concede that "Morphophobia" wouldn't have been sung as smoothly on the title track)
