Review: Black Hours - Hamilton Leithauser

After Heaven, The Walkmen went on an “infinite hiatus,” stating they had just gone their separate ways, living in different cities, and they hadn’t really been a band for a long time. I was really disappointed as Heaven was one of their best and on my list of best albums of 2012. Three members of The Walkmen will release solo albums this year including front man, Hamilton Leithauser. His solo record, Black Hours, picks up where The Walkmen’s Heaven left off, dealing with themes of heartache, happiness, and growing up, and now the hiatus makes sense. Listening to Heaven and Black Hours back-to-back, I can hear a lot of unique tendencies as a musician that linger within Hamilton Leithauser. The title track, “We Can’t Be Beat” is an example of that.

Black Hours is another wonderful display of Hamilton Leithauser's musical talents; he is a musician who, in the last 14 years, has grown up and isn’t afraid to let us hear all the good and bad run free. His solo album is a display of a musician whose strengths stretch farther than rock music. Black Hours highlights a person who has such a passion for the good and bad of life, that though he’s rather pessimistic at times, there is a sense of levelheadedness and triumph that anyone can appreciate. Musically the album is dark in its composition but his vocals have always had that mysterious charisma to them. Finally it’s not hidden behind a lovely yet hasty rock sound or backing vocals. Instead, Leithauser delivers a backdrop filled with strings, piano, whimsical percussion and just enough guitar that it doesn’t drown out the direction Leithauser is heading in his musical career. He has been liberated from The Walkmen and it’s not a bad thing because he’s a better musician for it. He’s found his musical balance.
