At the time I Had a Dream That You Were Mine was first released, the Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam were best known for their work in two of the most influential rock bands of the era: Hamilton as lead singer in The Walkmen and Rostam as the co-songwriter and producer behind Vampire Weekend. The inspired collaboration was born of friendship, and mutual admiration, but grew into a synergistic creative partnership that birthed a timeless album of beautifully evocative songs. I Had a Dream That You Were Mine is a delightfully immersive album, built around Rostam's meticulous, expansive production and Hamilton's distinctive, wild vocal range. Unlike anything either artist had done before, the album's stylistic flourishes include doo-wop, country-rock, baroque pop, folk, and spellbinding torch songs. Together, the lauded musicians found a unique flair for the dramatic which made their handful of live performances a thrilling experience; ten years on, these rare live shows are not to be missed!

Emmy Bean and Ronnie Kuller have created and played music together in Chicago for over a decade. Their work together has included crowd-sourced odes performed in parks by moonlight, settings of the poetry of Charles Baudelaire, and most recently, the arrangement and performance of the works of Connie Converse. Their collaboration is inspired by themes of darkness and light, the natural world, children and families, and the liberating power of all that is absurd, colorful, playful, and strange. “This heroine of songwriting contained multitudes—and with Her Only Light, we are finally provided Connie Converse in full, resplendent resolution.” — Doyle Armbrust “… a joyous renewal of their commitment to Converse’s legacy. Her songs are wry, weird, evocative, and beautiful, and it’s a delight to hear them done justice in a lovingly staged cabaret-style performance with violin, viola, cello, harp, and clarinets. Somewhere in space and time, Converse is smiling…” — Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader Ronnie Kuller, conductor Emmy Bean, vocals Barbara Drapcho, clarinet Michael Tran, clarinets Lauren Hayes, harp Katie Klocke, violin Elizabeth Choi, viola Melissa Bach, cello About Em Spel: “Scintillating....Hospelhorn's pop-adjacent experimental folk features her lovely, elastic vocals, her flute, and her intricately programmed electronics.” — Chicago Reader “Beguiling” — WNYC Em Spel's intricate, flute-driven alt-folk sounds like nothing else. The solo project of Chicago-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emma Hospelhorn, Em Spel’s sophomore album, Bird or Snake, was released to widespread praise in 2026. Hospelhorn is a flutist in avant-classical group Ensemble Dal Niente, and her discography includes work on flutes, bass guitar, and keyboards for V.V. Lightbody, Mute Duo, and others working in a diverse array of genres including folk, drone, garage rock, post-punk, and classical. In this solo endeavor, she fuses all of these influences with story-driven lyrics to create invitingly strange folk vignettes. To listen, visit emspel.bandcamp.com.

The music of Rushing Past Willow builds immersive layers from repetition, circular breathing, vocalization, multiphonics, and unconventional articulation. Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Allan Kozinn highlighted Rushing Past Willow's "rapidly undulating, swirling figures that seem unstoppable," calling Zoulek "stunningly virtuosic, whatever the genre." The Huffington Post called the music "wickedly contagious, bizarrely beautiful and extraterrestrial." While Zoulek's musical vocabulary has continued to expand over the decade since, with projects like Enter Branch (Better Company Records) and Chamber (New Zone Records), along with collaborations with S. Carey, Nathalie Joachim, J. Ivy, ~Nois, Third Coast Percussion, and many others, Rushing Past Willow is a true starting point. For this tenth-anniversary performance at Constellation, Zoulek returns to the music that established the foundation of his solo practice, revisiting a sound world that investigates memory, loss, repetition, connection, and time.

Stars wheel overhead, bursting and dying and forming. Celestial bodies, anchored by ancient orbits, careen through space. Here on Earth, bodies need tending, hearts need mending. Sometimes it seems that the long night will never end. But stars and planets remind us: change is the only constant. Humbird's fourth full-length album, Morning When It Comes, is a promise made in the midst of a long night. With glittering hooks, big-hearted grooves, and clear-voiced melodies that cut straight to the truth, Humbird offers twelve new secular hymns that draw inspiration from the cosmos above to comfort us in our humanity down below. For lead songwriter Siri Undlin (she/her), this album first took shape as a set of poetic compasses for navigating mental and physical illness. , "rdquo" -> I found certain melodies and rhymes to be like North Stars," she notes, the songwriting process functioning as a balm and a map for reckoning with internal worlds of pain and discomfort. This process isn't new for Undlin: whether singing as a kid in school stairwells, around the kitchen table with family, conducting extensive folklore and musical research worldwide as a Watson Fellow, or touring through the US and EU/UK on the heels of her 2024 album Right On, music has always been her tool for navigating the world. , "rdquo" -> I wrote these songs when I was really sick, and it could've very easily been a really depressing album," she says. , "rdquo" -> But in the studio, it was important to all of us to find the ways these songs could harness mischief and exuberance -- not to downplay the density of the emotions, but to represent the complexity and contradictions that occur on any given day of our lives." Recording Morning When It Comes with trusted collaborators in Eau Claire, Wisconsin transformed these twelve self-soothing songs into a bigger, more universal conversation about stability, surrender, and the power of being in community.

When the members of Slow Pulp discuss Yard, their second full-length record and first for ANTI-, their vocabulary often defaults to synesthetic imagery and sensation. "We have so many visual cues for how we talk about music," singer and guitarist Emily Massey says as she stops herself in the middle of explaining how the album's second song, "Doubt," sounds like wakeboarding. "Doubt is quite dark lyrically, but it is found in this upbeat and almost campy environment." On Yard, the Wisconsin-bred, Chicago-based four-piece nestles comfortably into pockets of nuance, impressions, contradictions -- sonics and lyrics finessed together to bottle the specific tension of a feeling you've never quite been able to find the right words for. In that regard, listening to Slow Pulp can feel like being in a room with someone who's known you so long that they can read your every micro-expression and pinpoint exactly how you're feeling before you can.

rocknite brings rising artists and music lovers into a vibrant community. Our shows are all about connection: between musicians, between like-minded strangers and between artists and their fans. In a time where concert tickets come with crazy upcharges and the majority of venues are owned by international corporations, rocknite intends to localize fandom and incorporate socialization into music discovery. rocknite started in Highland Park, Los Angeles in March 2025 at The Goldfish. Now we've started chapters in Nashville, New York, Chicago and Long Beach and stepped out at SXSW and Bonnaroo. All of our shows are built by and for their cities' artist scenes and anchor around three-band lineups and accessible entry. These events are free to attend. This month's featured artists are Lemon Chrome, Lace For Leisure, and Credit Card.
