You Were Mine

I Had A Dream That You Were Mine is an album of songs Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam 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. This was a record I d been wanting to make for at least a decade - Rostam says - As a fan of Hamilton s voice in the Walkmen Id been wanting to capture it in ways it hadnt been captured before to make songs with him that placed the crooner right beside the howler, the screamer beside the whisperer to try to leave no stone unturned in terms of how we should approach the delivery of a song.
