Following the release of his newest album, American Stories; singer-songwriter and producer Rostam Batmanglij makes a momentous return to the stage after a five year hiatus from releasing a fresh body of work. Chicago was fortunate enough to have his tour stop by Thalia Hall last weekend which ended up being a rather pleasant and intimate evening.
Though it was a transient set, Rotsam incorporated a variety of songs in his setlist from across his whole discography; joking on stage that this was his “eras tour.” Being the multi-talented musician he is, Rostam covers a lot of ground sonically across his musical works. His latest album is a marvelous cultural fusion of Middle Eastern influences and Americana. Thalia Hall was treated to a full performance of his new album with his greatest hits sprinkled in throughout the night.
Being a founding and former member of New York based indie rock band Vampire Weekend, fans had the great pleasure of hearing Rostam perform a “cover” of their Modern Vampires of the City track, “Young Lion” (This was the last album Rostam was a part of the band for). Other notable highlights from the night included his performance of “Bike Dream” and his beautifully orchestrated, newly released track with Clairo, “Hardy.” Rostam closed out his show with the same two tracks that close out American Stories, “Come Apart” and “The Weight.”
