Marking a slight shift away from the more low-key folk-rock that defined his previous solo endeavors, Leithauser crafted This Side of the Island over the course of eight years in his home studio, as well as Aaron Dessner (of The National)'s Long Pond Studio.
'Knockin' Heart' is sung by an estranged, stoned lover on their way home, who is dying to get a message through to someone who is probably not listening.
To celebrate the release of This Side of the Island, Leithauser will perform a 15-show residency at Café Carlyle from March 6th through March 19th.
He actually used a funny bass technique he said he'd used on a Taylor Swift song, which I got a kick out of.
