Rostam w/Joy Again
Turner Hall Ballroom 1040 N 4th St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203
Leaving a band as popular as Vampire Weekend, especially on the heels of the group’s most acclaimed album yet, 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City, isn’t the type of thing that a musician does lightly. But for the band’s keyboardist/producer Rostam Batmanglij, it may have been simply a matter of only having so much time in a day. During his run with the band, Batmanglij became an in-demand producer and collaborator, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise when he left the band in 2016 to focus on a solo career, while leaving the door open for further collaborations with the group. After a collaborative album with The Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser in 2016, I Had a Dream That You Were Mine, he released his solo debut as Rostam last year, Half-Light, an artful electronic-pop project.
