Hamilton Leithauser, former frontman of The Walkmen, unveils This Side of the Island—an eight-years-in-the-making journey into a groovier, bass-driven sound influenced by Sly Stone, SZA, and more. Brought to completion with longtime friend Aaron Dessner as well as his wife Anna Stumpf at Long Pond Studio, the album marries Leithauser’s sharp wit and optimism with deeply personal reflections on love, loss, and resilience, offering vivid storytelling and emotional depth without tidy resolutions, only the enduring plea: “I just want you to love me the way I love you.”
