Best of 2019: Vampire Weekend's Father of the Bride


Listen Later

Vampire Weekend return from a six year hiatus with their fourth record, Father of The Bride, a sprawling, shaggy double album that features some of the band's loosest, most playfully adventurous songwriting to date. It's an album about contentment, aging into life's responsibilities, finding someone who you'd rather spend the night in with - it feels unburdened by the existential worries of the band's earlier work and the anxiety of a comeback record. Above all, it revels in the lightness, wholeheartedly embracing the band's thoroughly uncool influences whilst also showing why Ezra Koenig remains one of the smartest lyricists and songwriters working today. TRACKS PLAYED: 'Hold Me Now (feat. Danielle Haim)' 'Harmony Hall' 'Bambina' 'This Life' 'Big Blue' 'How Long?' 'Unbearably White' 'Rich Man' 'My Mistake' 'Sunflower (feat. Steve Lacy)' '2021' 'We Belong Together (feat. Danielle Haim)' 'Stranger' 'Jerusalem, New York, Berlin'.
