One of my favorite bands, Vampire Weekend has been teasing their first new album in 5 years for a while and posted a cryptic Instagram tease with the initials OGWAU. Now thanks to a Spotify merch leak, we know the title, album cover, and the release date.


Can't wait. I assume a lead single is coming soon.

Old video I made when I was one of only a couple dozen people watching the show. It was at a charity event that was way out of VW's demographic.

I enjoyed their first two albums, especially Contra. Haven’t listened to them beyond those two albums though.

Decker

Man, the next two albums are AMAZING! You need to listen.

Decker

BTW : The album title refers to this miraculous near-air disaster on Aloha Airlines. My friend's dad was on the flight.

I've never been a huge Vampire Weekend fan but I will say if you have even a passing enjoyment out of their music, their concert is 100% worth checking out. My buddy had a spare ticket in late 2019 (last concert I went to before COVID) and they just fucking rocked.

Decker

My daughter bought tickets for the Sunday matinee in MSG. They're doing two shows there with two completely different setlists and no repeats (except for A-Punk).

New song with official music video

Album's leaked. It's really good.

But it's only 47 minutes - didn't need to be a double LP - would've easily fit onto one. Unless it's 45rpm, but I doubt it is.

Decker

Slop hooked up my daughter with an autographed LP of their last album, something for which I am eternally grateful. For this album she's taking care of it herself. She just sent me this :
