I Had a Dream That You Were Mine

A well-crafted collaboration between Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam. Leithauser’s voice is raw, lived-in, and soulful while Rostam’s production layers crisp guitars, driving drums, and airy textures that make the record feel timeless. The album draws from doo-wop, soul, country, and folk, yet never feels retro for its own sake. Songs like Rough Going show off Vampire Weekend–style rhythms, and In a Black Out stands out, for me, as a dreamy ballad with strummed guitar. Even though the atmosphere stays fairly consistent, each song brings its own character, and the differences reveal themselves more with repeated listens. Not every track is as strong as the next, but as a whole this is a solid album

I Had a Dream That You Were Mine is a good indie rock album. The songs sound a bit messy and organic as if it's a live recording or a demo. Also a lot of early rock styles (1950s) are used, which results in a late Tom Waits album without the avant-garde, but also with great songs that are a bit more accessible. Nice entry!

4 super good

Really good indie album, one I’ll come back to.

Musically rich with emotionally earnest vocals. These songs are just brimming with a personality and feeling that I miss hearing in music. Brilliant choice, thanks for sharing it. Fave Songs: Peaceful Morning, A 1000 Times, Sick as a Dog, The Bride's Dad, Rough Going (I Won't Let Up), You Ain't That Young Kid

Rating: 7/10 Best songs: A 1000 times, In a black out, When the truth is

Några fina låtar men som helhet håller inte hela plattan. Fullt godkänd dock.

Indie rock. Ni fu ni fa.

I Had a Dream That You Were Mine is interesting enough for an indie album, gave me vibes of some more mellow Gaslight Anthem stuff at times, Leithauser's voice has some similarities to Brian Fallon's imo. It's quite a calming listen and it does a fair job of bringing together a few styles without it seeming over the top or at the detriment of the music. A characterful 3/5, When The Truth Is... stuck with me, lovely song.

Bro thinks he’s Martin Luther king

I liked this well enough.

This seems like it's maybe a decade too late. Some chamber sounding indie pop for sure. Not really my thing, but interesting enough I guess.

Could definitely imagine these songs being in a commercial in the late 2010s.

Listened to this but cannot remember anything about the next day Alt rock

Pretty much in line with a flavor of post-millennial alternative rock that I don't dislike but also don't really seek out. Mostly failed to fully capture my attention.

There were times I felt this had nothing new to add to the music scene, then a song came along and I thought hello, and then it sounded like someone else…all in all not too bad.

It was fine. Was surprised to learn about the Vampire Weekend connection, wouldn't have picked up on that on my own

When the indie

So forgettable I barely remember listening to it yesterday. Just another indie record.

Not bad, just not really my thing 2.4

This guy was obnoxious

Another fine addition to the 1001 Indie-Folk Albums You Must Hear Before You Die list.

Two guys notorious for making every single song they write sound exactly the same get together to make an album where every song sounds exactly the same. End of Evangelion ass album cover. 2/5.
