The Alt In Our Stars Podcast: The Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser Talks Going Solo, Rostam Batmanglij Collaboration
For the second installment of the Alt In Our Stars podcast, we're here to remind you that we're just as much about the "alt" as we are about the stars. For almost 20 years, the music of the dapper Hamilton Leithauser has existed comfortably below the mainstream, first with indie rock greats The Walkmen and, recently, as a seasoned solo artist, who debuted in 2014 with the LP Black Hours .
