Oh, I’m still living
At the old address
And I’m waiting on the weather
That I know will pass
I know that it’s true
It’s gonna be a good year
Out of the darkness
And into the fire
I tell you I love you
And my heart’s in the strangest place
That’s how it started
And that’s how it ends
The Walkmen – In The New Year [from You & Me]
Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen) has announced a world tour behind his new album with former Vampire Weekend member Rostam, I Had A Dream That You Were Mine. The 2017 tour kicks off January 13 in Marfa, Texas, and will cover the US and Europe. Unfortunately, Rostam will not be joining Leithauser on this tour, but this should still be a show worth catching if you can swing it.

Hamilton Leithauser (The Walkmen) and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend) will release their first collaborative album, I Had A Dream That You Were Mine, later this month (9/23 via Glassnote). “When The Truth Is…” is the latest single from the duo’s upcoming project. This throwback, doo-wop inspired track is super infectious. Prepare yourself for multiple listens.
And if you’re reading this Rostam, how about a new Discovery album when you’ve got some time to kill?
“Craft Spells combine shy synthesizers and and jangly guitars to create a sound reminiscent of Joy Division and indie-shoegaze veterans The Radio Dept. ‘Still Left With Me’ is a touching pop song about love that is born through time and circumstance shrouded in a dream-like atmosphere, making it perfect for a lazy summer afternoon.” (via KEXP)

Technically, this song was first released in 2010, but since it was included on Oberhofer’s debut album Time Capsules II this year and it’s such a good track, i’m including it with this year’s good.
