Hamilton Leithauser by Josh Goleman
Hamilton Leithauser spent Father’s Day with his children performing an at-home NPR Tiny Desk concert.
Ably assisted by his young family, Leithauser aired In A Black Out, The Garbage Men, Here They Come, The Stars of Tomorrow and Isabella – most taken from his recent solo album The Loves Of Your Life, which is already one of Live4ever’s big favourites of 2020.
“Not everything has changed: Leithauser’s voice, which scales from twenty-a-day rasp to twinkling falsetto, is still a small wonder, but this is, without sounding too pretentious, a musician’s record, filled with amiable and discretely grand performances,” our review reads.
“Where there are guests, they mirror this purist approach, with a notable contribution from the near-legendary Jon Batiste, but also the Leithauser juniors play a part, along with their elementary school teacher on occasional backing vocals.”
