This Side of the Island is the fifth studio album by American musician Hamilton Leithauser. It was released on March 7, 2025, by Glassnote Records.[2]
Leithauser's fourth solo album and his first since The Loves of Your Life in 2020, This Side of the Island consists of nine songs.[2] Reflective of a beach side theme, the album centers on Leithauser's remembrance of a past relationship when he was younger, with the album title referring to Manhattan and Lower East Side.[3] It was produced by Leithauser, Aaron Dessner and Leithauser's wife, Anna Stumpf.[4] In December 2024, Leithauser published a post on Instagram about the title track, "This Side of the Island", noting it was the last song he wrote in eight years and describing its themes as disillusionment, acceptance, and resolve.[5] The album's first and second singles, "This Side of the Island" and "Knockin’ Heart", were released on December 10, 2024, and January 8, 2025, respectively.[6][7]
