Celebrate Vampire Weekend Return with Singles “Harmony Hall” and “2021”

Written by: Miguel Torrellas

It appears that after six long years of absence, the beloved indie giants of Vampire Weekend are finally back with a new release. After far too much speculation and yearning, Front Man Ezra Koenig announced on Instagram that their fourth album “Father Of The Bride” will be released at some point during the spring of this year.

According to Koenig, the project is a double album that consists of 18 tracks and it’s about an hour long. After his departure in 2016, “FOTB” will be the first Vampire Weekend release without Rostam Batmanglij as an official band member. Nonetheless, he is credited as a producer in the lead single “Harmony Hall” and worked in an additional song that has not been released yet.

As excruciating as it is to wait for “FOTB” to arrive, we can find comfort in Koenig’s promise of “three 2-song drops every month until the record is out.” Listen to the first two, “Harmony Hall” and “2021,” below and let us know in the comments what you think of them.

And here’s “2021”
