The Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser is currently at work on a new solo effort, enlisting help from an array of famous musicians.
Leithauser is prepping the follow-up to his band’s recent album Heaven, which came out in 2012, recording with the likes of Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), Richard Swift (The Shins), Morgen Henderson (Fleet Foxes), as well as The Walkmen’s own Paul Maroon.
The LP is currently without a title, but should surface during Spring 2014.
