At the time I Had a Dream That You Were Mine was first released, the Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam were best known for their work in two of the most influential rock bands of the era: Hamilton as lead singer in The Walkmen and Rostam as the co-songwriter and producer behind Vampire Weekend. The inspired collaboration was born of friendship, and mutual admiration, but grew into a synergistic creative partnership that birthed a timeless album of beautifully evocative songs. I Had a Dream That You Were Minei s a delightfully immersive album, builtaround Rostam’s meticulous, expansive production and Hamilton’s distinctive, wild vocal range. Unlike anything either artist had done before, the album’s stylistic flourishes include doo-wop, country-rock, baroque pop, folk, and spellbinding torch songs. Together, the lauded musicians found a unique flair for the dramatic which made their handful of live performances a thrilling experience; ten years on, these rare live shows are not to be missed!
