Hamilton Leithauser is back again with "Don't Check The Score" a third taster of his forthcoming The Loves of Your Life album.

"Don't Check The Score" lands after previous singles "Isabella" and "Here They Come".

The other two releases arrived with teaser videos starring Maggie Rogers and Ethan Hawke. This single doesn't have a full sketch teaser, but Leithauser did share a clip of Sienna Miller reminding fans of his album release date before smashing a glass over his head.

Leithauser says of his new LP, "I wrote these songs about individual people. I wrote stories and I wrote music; and then I matched them up. Not one story was originally intended for the music it ended up marrying. These are people I know, and strangers I’ve come across in the last few years. All of the stories are based on some kind of truth, but I’m not afraid to get loose with the facts. Most are both fact and fiction, and some tilt pretty far in either direction. I guess people might call this "creative nonfiction" or just "embellished stories". I wrote and recorded these songs in a studio I built for myself in New York. It’s a tight New York kind of space, and I’m jammed in with all sorts of instruments and equipment."

"Don't Check The Score" is out now. Hamilton Leithauser's The Loves of Your Life album is due for release on 10 April via Glassnote Records, and is available to pre-order now.
