Inaugurating a new chapter in an already remarkable career from The Walkmen front man, the album brings Leithauser full circle and then some, from lonely midwinter piano-and-vocals sessions, to a loud, live Rock n Roll group and back again. Featuring Leithauser with collaborators including Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend), Paul Maroon (The Walkmen), Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes), Richard Swift (The Shins/solo), Amber Coffman (Dirty Projectors) who provides backing vocals on several numbers and even Hugh McIntosh of Leithauser’s first band, the Recoys, returns for a pair of songs, Black Hours showcases Leithauser at his most passionate, personal and free.

Pre-order Black Hours (available in stores June 3rd) now on CD, LP, and limited deluxe double LP (including a bonus 4 track EP) from the Ribbon Mart and get “Alexandra”, “11 O’Clock Friday Night” and “I Retired” instantly.
