Our Take

Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam's live album at KCRW in British English is a cheeky, charming romp through the duo's indie pop repertoire. Leithauser's distinctive vocals, reminiscent of a young Mick Jagger with a cup of Earl Grey in hand, are perfectly complemented by Rostam's intricate production and multi-instrumental prowess.

From the rollicking opener "A 1000 Times" to the soulful ballad "In a Black Out", the duo effortlessly weaves together a tapestry of musical genres, blending folk, rock, and even a touch of British invasion pop. The live setting adds an extra layer of energy and intimacy to the songs, as if you were sipping a pint at your local pub while the band played in the corner.

Highlights include the infectious "When the Truth is…" with its anthemic chorus and the stripped-down beauty of "Sick as a Dog". The chemistry between Leithauser and Rostam is palpable, as they effortlessly trade off melodies and harmonies like a pair of seasoned pros.

While some may find the British English affectation a bit twee, it adds a whimsical charm to the proceedings that sets this album apart from the pack. So grab a spot of tea, put on your best Union Jack jumper, and enjoy the whimsical delights of Hamilton Leithauser + Rostam live at KCRW. Cheers!
