Collaborating Quote by Hamilton Leithauser

“I was writing music when we finished the last Walkmen record, Heaven, and a few of these songs may have even been started before Heaven was done. With The Walkmen we all wrote a lot of stuff alone, but then we'd start collaborating with each other.” quote by Hamilton Leithauser
