The Walkmen

Prior to the performance at the Tiny Desk Home Concert on June 21, 2020, Hamilton Leithauser had just released his album "The Loves of My Life" in September 2020, a project noted for its introspective lyrics and rich instrumentation. This concert was a stripped-back showcase of his work, echoing the intimacy and warmth that defines The Walkmen's music, despite the band's hiatus. The live recording not only highlighted Leithauser's distinctive vocal style but also served as a reminder of his artistic evolution since The Walkmen's last studio album, "Heaven," released in 2012. Interestingly, this setting—so personal and raw—mirrors the band's early days in the New York indie scene, where they thrived on the connections made with small audiences. It was almost like wrapping up a nostalgic chapter of shared memories while stepping into new vocal adventures.
