I liked their first two albums but never listened to their third. Kinda forgot about them.

Decker

Shit, that third album, Modern Vampires of the City is like my favorite album of recent years. I absolutely LOVE it.

Will have to listen to these tracks at lunch today when I get a moment. Excited for the new album

Decker

Okay I frigging love Harmony Hall. That is a SOLID song.
2021 is just a throwaway track.

bralph

Agree 100%. I've played Harmony Hall a lot already. Loving that song.

E Unit

Way more laid back, but Harmony Hall is absolutely great. I hope the majority of the album is like this track.

I'm guessing they'll be going on tour again soon. Last time when Modern Vampires of the City came out, they stopped by ACL Fest. For me, it was by far the best show that year.

I honestly forgot about them. I did love Contra though. Glad they are back.

Mike86

Yeah, Contra is a really solid album. That was my introduction to them.

YES! My son and I are pumped they will stopping here.

I am always amazed how random routes concert tours take, some seem so inefficient.

bralph

Dang... No Detroit stop...

Decker

No Vegas either And they won't be in L. A. until after my daughter goes away for college so for her graduation present I will be flying her back to her birth place of Indianapolis and see Vampire Weekend there. Turning into a pretty freaking expensive concert for a lawn show. Thanks Ezra

I am glad I got my tickets early the show in OKC sold out in about 10 days.

slop101

I didn't care much for their first album, didn't even hear their 2nd, but I really liked their 3rd album, and judging from these early songs, I think I'll really enjoy this new one too, so I went ahead and pre-ordered the vinyl.

Don't know how I missed that before. Hey, it's a HS Graduation present!

Two new songs out today. I love This Life. Very catchy. More ambivilent about Unbearably White. Will need a few more listens to be sure how I feel about it.

Decker

^ Got my email a month ago or more. I upgraded my daughter's copy to vinyl but got a CD for me.
I think that's a common thing artists are doing now. Got free new CDs with recent Robert Plant, Sting, David Byrne and Paul McCartney shows. Maybe others.

Decker

T Minus 1 Hour...

So looking forward to listening this tonight.

slop101

Got the (limited orange) vinyl in the mail today.

Thought they mistakenly sent me two copies, but the other one was an unwrapped empty outer sleeve signed by the band. Pretty cool little surprise.

Listened the the whole thing once, and if flows really well as an album. I dig it, and the pre-released songs work much better within the context of the whole album. Vinyl sounds really good too, great dynamic range!

Decker

We are still waiting for our copy but my daughter is acutely aware that the band signed a limited number of copies and will be so disappointed if she doesn't get one. Her hopes are so up for that one.
Do me a favor and post a picture if you get a chance.

She's such a super-fan that she bought these earrings yesterday off Etsy after Ezra posted them on his Instagram feed

dex14

Listened once through, but will do a few more at work today. It's good. Not their best. Rostam departure is definitely felt. I liked his album a lot.

slop101

If you don't get a signed sleeve, PM me your address and I'll send you mine.
Honor system!!!
