Our Take

Ah, Vampire Weekend, the indie darlings of the East Coast! With their latest album "Only God Was Above Us," they continue to showcase their unique blend of baroque pop, Afrobeat rhythms, and witty lyrics.

The album kicks off with the infectious track "Sunflower," featuring a funky bassline and frontman Ezra Koenig's signature crooning vocals. It's impossible to resist tapping your foot along to this one.

As the album progresses, Vampire Weekend takes us on a musical journey through a variety of influences, from the reggae-infused "Flower Moon" to the dreamy "Big Blue." Each track is meticulously crafted, with layers of instrumentation that reveal themselves with each listen.

One of the standout moments on the album is the haunting ballad "Harmony Hall," which sees the band reflecting on themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. It's a moment of introspection amidst the upbeat bops that populate the rest of the record.

Overall, "Only God Was Above Us" is a triumph for Vampire Weekend, showcasing their growth as musicians and songwriters. It's a testament to their ability to blend genres seamlessly while still maintaining their distinctive sound. So grab a glass of wine, put on your best sweater vest, and let Vampire Weekend take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Cheers!
