This Side Of The Island [Aqua Blue Vinyl] (LP)
Hamilton Leithauser
Amoeba Review
Hamilton Leithauser lets loose on This Side of the Island. Having come to fame with the wound-up, high-energy post-punk of The Walkmen, Leithauser leans more into the shambling, unpredictable energy of '70s rock 'n' roll on this one. The songs are eclectic and experimental; they make use of classic funk vocals, fever-pitch falsetto, garage rock grunginess, and lounge crooner ambience. This Side of the Island is heartfelt and gripping, imaginative and just straight up fun. A record that's a pure pleasure for listeners.
