Hamilton Leithauser has shared the second single, “Burn The Boats”, off his upcoming album “This Side Of The Island” out March 7th via Glassnote Records.

Leithauser shared this about the song: “I finished this song in the spring of 2024, and then in the summer my friend sent me a link to a Joe Rogan event called “Burn the Boats.” At first I thought, “Oh fuck. Aw shit. Oh fuck this shit!!!,” but then I listened to Joe Rogan’s podcast for the first time, and I learned that he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about and I don’t care about his nonsense. My song is about being at a party, falling in love with someone, and deciding you want nothing more than to go home with them. At the same time, the party’s now kinda boring, and you’d really like to speed up the process. “I wanna go home!’ Who can’t relate to that? I wrote a backup line for my friend Lachrisha, which was definitely inspired by Funkadelic, and the guitar playing was definitely inspired by David Bowie’s Low.”
