Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam share video for ‘1000 Times’


Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam




Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam have shared the first video of their new partnership.

The pair – formerly of The Walkmen and Vampire Weekend respectively – confirmed their debut album ‘I Had a Dream That You Were Mine‘ for release on September 23rd earlier this week and have a video for ‘1000 Times‘ ready to go too as an added treat.

“There’s a photo hanging on the wall at Hamilton and his wife Anna’s apartment,” Rostam says. “It’s Hamilton as a teenager in a white shirt and black jeans, surrounded by three of his best friends wearing the same thing; they’re playing in a band on some sunny lawn. It looks like they might be covering “Louie Louie”. I think this photo is hung at my eye level because every time I’ve been to their apartment I’ve remembered seeing it.”

“At some point something must have clicked and inspired me to come up with this video concept – though I gotta confess originally it was meant for a different song we wrote together, one called ‘I Retired’.”

“Also I want to give a shout out to Josh Goleman – this is the third video we’ve directed together. I think we’re on to something.”
