Hamilton and Rostam
I Had a Dream You Were Mine
'I Had A Dream That You Were Mine' is an album of songs Hamilton Leithauser (Walkmen) and Rostam (Vampire Weekend) wrote and recorded together between July 2014 and February 2016. In the spirit of collaborative albums, not unlike those of David Byrne and Brian Eno, each musician's individuality remains in tact, while in fact, on this record, both Hamilton's identity as a singer and Rostam's as a producer seem to reach new heights. Many of these songs seem to take place in a memory of New York's past, or wading through the waist high waters in a half-submerged New York of the future. Yet what unites them is that they tell stories--I Had A Dream That You Were Mine is an album, a collection of songs yes, but also a collection of narratives.
