Watch Ezra Koenig Make Pancakes in New Music Video for Vampire Weekend’s “Harmony Hall”

Written by: Miguel Torrellas

In anticipation of the release of their fourth album “Father Of The Bride,” Vampire Weekend has dropped the music video for the amazing single “Harmony Hall.” Directed by Emmett Malloy, who previously collaborated with the band in videos for songs such as “Holiday” as well as “Giving Up the Gun,” the short film is a celebration of all of the tropes found in a production from the ‘90s.

With front man Ezra Koenig fixing up some pancakes with a spirograph, the video features everything from the decade, including the vintage clothes, the candlelit ballad, and, of course, the slow-motion dance-off. All of this makes for a playful send off to a not-so-far-away period that continues the food-and-feast theme found in previous Vampire Weekend videos such as “Diane Young” from their last album “Modern Vampires of the City.”

Also worth noting is the presence of a green reptile that references the lyric “Wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified” as well as the cameos from actor/director Jonah Hill, music producer Ariel Rechtshaid, and Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes.

As the wait for “Father Of The Bride” keeps going, we can only hope for more singles in the coming weeks as promised by Koenig. In the meantime, watch the video below and leave us your thoughts in the comments.
