Hamilton Leithauser Black Hours

It was reported last year that Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser was working on his debut solo album with members of the Shins, Fleet Foxes, Vampire Weekend, and the Walkmen. Now, that album has been announced. Black Hours is out May 6 in North America, May 5 everywhere else via Ribbon Music. It's available in regular and deluxe editions. Tracklist below.

Leithauser has also shared the video for album cut "Alexandra", directed by Tristan Patterson. The track was co-written by Leithauser and Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij (who also produced and mixed the track and appears in the video). It'll be available as a 7" on Record Store Day (April 19) with the exclusive B-side "In the Shallows". Watch the video below. It features Leithauser surrounded by a bevy of scantily-clad backup dancers.

In addition to Batmanglij, Black Hours features contributions from Dirty Projectors' Amber Coffman, Richard Swift (the Shins, solo artist), the Walkmen's Paul Maroon, Fleet Foxes/Cave Singers' Morgan Henderson (who is also formerly of the Blood Brothers), and Hugh McIntosh of Leithauser's former band the Recoys.
