Hamilton Leithauser has spent the majority of 2017 supporting his collaborative effort with Rostam, last fall’s I Had a Dream That You Were MineNow, the former Walkmen frontman has signed on with Glassnote Records as a solo artist, and he’s celebrating with the release of another new collaboration.

Leithauser has tapped Angel Olsen for his latest single, a swaying track called “Heartstruck (Wild Hunger)”. The song has an old Hollywood romance to it thanks to big strings and a ticky-tack percussive backbone. That’s a fitting era for Leithauser and Olsen’s vocal abilities, and their modern sensibilities lend the whole thing a modern indie swing.

In a statement, Leithauser said,

“This song is about catching yourself off guard when an emotion hits a little harder than you were ready for. It’s a desperate and funny situation. The desperation can be a little bit ridiculous, which can be a little bit funny, but it’s also desperate, so it’s agonizing. I thought “Wild Hunger” should be delivered with huge passion and energy, and I needed a fierce and booming voice as a counterbalance. Luckily, I got my first choice: Angel Olsen.”

Check it out below.

“Heartstruck (Wild Hunger)” promises to be just the first bit of new material from Leithauser. A press release promises “more music to follow in 2018” from Glassnote. Until then, you can check Leithauser out on tour at the dates below.
