Fans have been eagerly anticipating Vampire Weekend's new album, the follow up to 2013's 'Modern Vampires of the City' for five years now and although there have been snippets of information reaching the surface, there has been no official word on the album so far - until now that is. 

This past Saturday (Aug 4), while performing at Chicago’s Lollapalooza Festival last night (August 4), frontman Ezra Koenig shared with the audience an update on the long-awaited record, which currently goes by the working title 'Mitsubishi Macchiato'. “I wanted to tell you that the album is done now,” he said. “I mean, we’re mastering it but it’s done. More on that to come – in the meantime, just enjoy the rest of your summer.”
