Former frontman of rock bands The Recoys and The Walkmen, Hamilton Leithauser released the video for the track “5AM” off his solo album, Black Hours.
The vocals of the video have been described by The Atlantic as “a singer making a compelling case for a place among the great vocalists of American music.” And they are not far from the truth. The vocals are soft, tender, and perfect for a classy beer commercial (but really).
Leithauser has more than a video under the wraps, though. He also is about to undergo a North American and UK tour, starting in the UK in November. His first show in the U.S. will be Dec. 11 in New York City at the Bowery Ballroom, with his last show being Jan. 24, 2015 in Philadelphia.
