I want to know, does it bother you?
The low click of a ticking clock
There’s a headstone right in front of you
And everyone I know
I think people have made presumptions about us. Things that we are engaging with in our songs are things that fascinate us. You can be fascinated by a world but not ‘of that world.’ I think in the early days some people didn’t see that as possible.
We want to reflect the world we live in in our songs. Religion is a part of that world, and more specifically, living in a world with multiple religions and multiple perspectives on religion. Similarly, we want to express the range of feelings we’ve experienced throughout our twenties; hope and despair, sadness and joy.

(Modern Vampires of the City) is their simplest and most adventurous album so far: witty but self-doubting, bubbling with optimism yet plumbing darker depths, more experimental but boasting some of their most straightforward songs yet. Identifiably Vampire Weekend, but bigger. Braver. Better.

So far we’ve released ‘Step’ and ‘Diane Young’. If you want crazier songs than ‘Diane Young,’ there are a couple that get a little crazier. If you want more mellow, there’s a couple that are a little more mellow than ‘Step.’ We feel like we’re giving people a taste of what’s to come, but we’re not really even revealing the extremes.
