Two days ago, Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam Batmanglij announced a cross-Atlantic tour in support of I Had a Dream That You Were Mine, a lilting, thoroughly charming LP that merges The Walkmen vocalists’ airborne melodies with Rostam’s honed production. Rostam, formerly of Vampire Weekend, will only join Leithauser on select dates, but if the duo’s debut show at Brooklyn’s Rough Trade last month is any precedent, those shows are worth fighting for. The crowd at the sold-out gig belted along to standout tunes like “In A Black Out,”“A 1000 Times” and “1959.” Photographer Drew Reynolds documented the duo’s soundcheck and performance, seen in the gallery above.
