Our Take

Oh, well look who it is – Vampire Weekend with their fancy limited edition album "Only God Was Above Us." What a title! It's like they're trying to make a statement or something. As if we mere mortals aren't good enough to be included in their ranks. Well, jokes on them because I got my hands on a copy and I'm ready to dissect this bad boy like a vampire tearing into a juicy neck.

From the first track, "Sunflower," you know you're in for a wild ride. The upbeat tempo, the catchy hooks, the whimsical lyrics – it's like a sunny day at the beach with a slight chance of vampire attack. And don't even get me started on "Harmony Hall." This song is a bop and a half, with its infectious melody and irresistible groove. I dare you not to dance along.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows in Vampire Weekend land. Tracks like "2021" and "This Life" take a more introspective turn, delving into deeper themes of love, loss, and existential dread. It's like they've gone from frolicking in the meadows to staring into the void. Is this the sound of a band growing up? Who knows, but I'm here for it.

In conclusion, "Only God Was Above Us" is a delightful romp through the twisted minds of Vampire Weekend. It's quirky, it's fun, it's everything you'd expect from the band and more. So go ahead, sink your teeth into this album – just watch out for any lurking vampires.

Hailing from New York City, this quartet is known for blending elements of Afrobeat, indie rock, and pop to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Fronted by the charismatic and enigmatic Ezra Koenig, Vampire Weekend burst onto the scene in 2008 with their self-titled debut album. Tracks like "A-Punk" and "Oxford Comma" became instant classics, showcasing the band's knack for crafting infectious melodies and clever lyrics. Their sophomore album, "Contra," solidified their status as indie darlings, with hits like "Cousins" and "Giving Up the Gun" cementing their place in the hearts of music lovers everywhere. Since then, Vampire Weekend have continued to push boundaries and defy expectations with each subsequent release. Their latest album, "Father of the Bride," sees the band exploring new sonic territory while still maintaining the signature Vampire Weekend sound. Tracks like "Harmony Hall" and "This Life" are a testament to their evolution as musicians and songwriters. With their infectious energy and genre-defying sound, Vampire Weekend are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, there's no denying the impact that this band has had on the indie rock scene. Vampire Weekend are here to stay, so sit back, relax, and let their music take you on a journey unlike any other.
