As promised, Vampire Weekend is giving us one more two-song drop before releasing its highly anticipated fourth studio album, Father of the Bride, next month. And better yet, we're getting them in just a few days.
Over the weekend, the band's frontman Ezra Koenig treated Instagram followers to a look at a vinyl copy of Father of the Bride, while also announcing the final drop. "final two-song drop next week ! TL / UW out next Thursday, April 4 (8 am Eastern Time.)" he wrote. "bittersweet dropping the last drop. I kinda love this two songs at a time thing but ultimately it’s meant to be heard as an album. FATHER OF THE BRIDE. get ready."
Check out his post below.
Vampire weekend has already released four songs off the new album — "Sunflower," "Big Blue," "Harmony Hall" and "2021 — which is slated for a May 3 release. A few weeks after the album drops, the indie rockers embark on a North American tour, with a few European festival stops along the way. The tour kicks off with a Hangout Fest set May 17 and sees the band traverse the country, ending with a show at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 8.
