Vampire Weekend revisit old lyrics in new indie masterpiece that is as groovy as it is political
The NYC indie darlings rework an old line from one of their songs to produce one of the catchiest tunes of the year for their forthcoming album 'Father of the Bride'
Through all of 2018, the buzz around the highly anticipated new Vampire Weekend album was steadily swelling. It had been a harrowing five years since the New York indie-pop icons had dropped their last album, the brilliant 'Modern Vampires of the City', which was Vampire Weekend's second consecutive No. 1 album in the US charts.
While fans grew impatient and speculations around the new album heightened, the band itself kept feeding fans with little tidbits of information and teasers as they toured heavily throughout the year. In May, Frontman Exra Koenig proclaimed with half-joking accuracy that their new album was “94.5%” complete.
