Hamilton Leithauser's fifth studio album 'This Side of the Island' (co-produced by Aaron Dessner of The National) boldly turns away from the folk-rock vibes of his two previous records and introduces a groovier, bass-heavy, modern sound - a sound undoubtedly influenced by several decades of music. Inspired by events in Hamilton's personal life, the album's lyrics showcase his unrelenting optimism and biting wit and as they consider heavy themes of solitude, love, loss, and resilience.
