Product Overview
VAMPIRE WEEKEND - FATHER OF THE BRIDE (CD) FATHER OF THE BRIDE closes a six-year gap since 2013âs MODERN VAMPIRES OF THE CITY Ý a period during which the band's Ezra Koenig was anything but idle: In addition to touring the world and winning a Best Alternative GRAMMY for MODERN VAMPIRESæ, Koenig released his Netflix anime series Neo Yokio, continued to host his Time Crisis show on Beats1, co-wrote and produced Beyonceâs ÜHold Up æ all the while living the experiences and observations that would inform the next Vampire Weekend album. Vampire Weekend made their sixth visit to Australia in 2018 headlining Byron Bayâs annual Splendour In The Grass Festival. FATHER OF THE BRIDEâS title is something Koenig chose years back, well before recent significant developments in his life. In typical VW fashion, the title has multiple layers of meaning, expressing the bandâs signature paradox: creating songs that easily find a home on any playlistÝor car radio, TV show, film soundtrack, airport PA, etc.Ý but reveal their complexities upon closer listening.
