Hamilton Leithauser I Had a Dream That You Were Mine

"Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam Batmanglij make like Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan on this Las Vegas-lit West Side story, all deathly stylish cufflinks and vertiginous white collars, licking their wounds between jobs in the lounge."
"'Sick As A Dog' is a shuffling, mournful, tender glam-rock song that often just pairs Hamilton's croon with roomy drums with thrilling simplicity."
Paste (magazine) - "The 10 tracks on I HAD A DREAM THAT YOU WERE MINE use small signposts that point to music of the past without fully devolving into pure pastiche."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Together, Leithauser and Batmanglij work their way through nearly seven decades of musical history...but they also don't forget who they are in the process: one of '00s indie rock's most charismatic singers, alongside one of its most creative songwriter-producers."
Clash (Magazine) - "It's a collaboration that works as there's a sense of longing for the past from both parties, be it lyrically throughout from Leithauser, or musically in the retro styling brought by Rostam. A solid debut..."
