On June 2 Hamilton Leithauser and Paul Maroon (both of The Walkmen) played at the intimate Brooklyn venue Union Pool to a sold out attentive audience.
In 2015, the duo released their collaborative album Dear God which for a while was a vinyl only release that the duo actually hand-delivered to fans who purchased it online in their cars. The songs off of it is very reminiscent of the more subdued songs of The Walkmen, as well as Leithauser’s 2014 solo album Black Hours.
A highlight of the set included a song called “The Bride’s Dad” based on a recent wedding Leithauser attended where the bride’s unwelcome father showed up unexpectedly. The song turns out will be on Hamilton’s new collaboration with now former Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij.
