Our Take

The latest offering from indie darlings Vampire Weekend, "Father of the Bride," is a whimsical and meandering journey through love, loss, and lemonade stands. The band's first album in six years, this eclectic mix of songs is a delightful cacophony of sounds and styles that will have you tapping your feet and scratching your head in equal measure.

Kicking off with the infectious grooves of "Hold You Now," frontman Ezra Koenig's crooning vocals are complemented by the angelic harmonies of Danielle Haim, setting the stage for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. From the sunny melodies of "Harmony Hall" to the introspective musings of "This Life," each track on the album is a mini masterpiece in its own right.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Tracks like "Big Blue" and "Jerusalem, New York, Berlin" delve into darker territory, exploring themes of loneliness and existential dread. The band's trademark wit and wordplay are on full display here, making for some truly thought-provoking lyricism.

Overall, "Father of the Bride" is a triumphant return for Vampire Weekend, showcasing their evolution as musicians and songwriters. With its lush production and infectious melodies, this album is a must-listen for fans old and new. So grab a glass of your favourite beverage, sit back, and let the music wash over you like a wave of nostalgia. Cheers to Vampire Weekend for delivering another gem of an album.
