I had a dream that you were mine

Description

I Had A Dream That You Were Mine brings together songs written and recorded by Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen) and Rostam (Vampire Weekend)
In the spirit of collaborative albums, like those of David Byrne or Brian Eno, each musical identity of the participating artists remains intact.
Nevertheless, Hamilton's singing talents and Rostam's production skills seem to have exceeded their standards.
Many of these tracks seem to unfold in the memories of New York's past, or in a projection of a futuristic New York, submerged by waters.
And in these contexts, stories are created. I Had A Dream That You Were Mine thus takes the form of a collection of short stories, from the doo-wop of When The Truth IS... to the country accents of the pedal steel in Morning Stars; from the symbiosis of piano and organ on A 1000 Times to the Hispanic triplets that invoke Leonard Cohen on In A Black Out; this album galvanizes the explosion of musical styles in 1950s America.
To then add analog synths like on You Ain't That Young Kid, ultra-modern subs, and reveal an unexpected and innovative message born from the meeting of two great artists.
