CRITIC’S PICK
Thurs., May 8
Hamilton Leithauser, Greg Freeman, Terminal West — The ex-Walkmen frontman has been intermittently releasing solo albums for about a decade, most of them far removed from the louder, punkier sound of his old band. But he returns to that more direct approach with the recent This Side of the Island, his first album in five years, released a few months ago. Co-produced with his wife and The Nationals’ Aaron Dessner, it’s an arty yet emotional set focusing on Leithauser’s unique talk-sung vocals and compact songs that unravel at their own pace. Walkmen fans will get a few oldies too but should enjoy the new music just as much. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Hamilton Leithauser, the hard-hitting, Carlyle-crooning frontman of The Walkmen, has worked the last eight years in the heart of Bedford Stuyvesant, writing and recording his new breakthrough solo record, This Side of the Island. Known for his evocative lyricism, quick wit, and distinctive voice, Leithauser has been a significant force in rock 'n' roll since the early 2000s NYC scene, transitioning smoothly from his band's successes to a flourishing solo career.Hamilton Leithauser | 05/08/2025 8:00 PM
