Brooklyn based band Vampire Weekend’s hiatus is just about over. They are back after close to six years with new two new songs “Harmony Hall” and “2021”. The new album Father of the Bride will be a double album due sometime later this year. Frontman Ezra Koenig told Beats 1 the following, “It was hard to imagine at first, what does a Vampire Weekend feature look like, cause we’ve never done it,” Koenig said. “And then I realized, our whole thing was that we make record with a small crew, whether it’s the early days, me and Rostam Batmanglij sitting in front of a computer, bringing in [producer] Ariel [Rechtshaid] on the last album… So I was like, ‘You know what, if we’re gonna get any features, if somebody’s worth having on one song, they’re worth having on two or three.’ The features are people who are really part of the fabric of the record.” Even though Batmanglij is not part of Vampire Weekend anymore, he helped produce FOTB. Check out the pair of new songs below.
