Has it leaked yet?

Look the contrarians have arrived! It will be their best release yet. Watch. Ezra has been working on this for quite some time.

None of the 6 songs released sound like each other. You're clearly tone deaf.

what do u mean "worthwhile"

I agree with you. I think this will be their most remembered project but probably won't sound like Vampire Weekend.

you're speculating pretty heavily user

Rostam left, and it sure is showing.

have you seen Rostam's side projects? dude is a job. Ezra was clearly the better half of the operations

that's not really fair. Half-Light was just an indulgent side project, and he clearly knew that. Rostam is a really good writer and producer. Ezra is a good lyricist but just an okay composer.

also I Had a Dream That You Were Mine was great.

He’s literally a primary collobarater for this album

and you're literally talking out of your ass. he only had some additional production on Harmony Hall. you know something else I don't?

I had a dream wasn't even his project. It was mainly that other guy. The only good thing Rostam ever put out was Discovery and that was partly with Ra Ra Riot. Just face the facts that he is a talented Multi-instrumentalist but a terrible writer for them

i don’t wanna be

diplomat's son is Rostam's best contribution

rostam’s singing is shit. and wow, I sure will miss all those harpsichord arpeggios

this is a cover edit

here’s the jap edition

Wrong, he co-wrote the songs and produced the whole thing.

>Just face the facts that he is a talented Multi-instrumentalist but a terrible writer for them
you're going to tell me to "face the facts"? mega-lol. how about you stop talking out of your ass?

Agreed, but I think his minimal vocal contributions on VW projects were nice. Regardless, his production and writing was essential.

I get the feeling rostam never even wanted to be in the band and just wanted to produce shit

Non sequitur. He's currently mainly a producer.

vampire weekend has been the best american band for nearly ten years now and is the only young-ish group with both a flawless run of records and a foot firmly in the mainstream. they have no peers in this regard

i'm leaking right now

Why is Sony Music on the artwork?

>implying rostam wasn't a gay liability

also why did he even leave, it's n0t as if ezra seems to be imposing this intense beatles-like schedule on them, they take fucking forever between albums. was it just a gamble to launch his solo "career"?

cause ezra was the frontman and many thought he was the brains behind vamp when it was a dual effort and that bitchass anted to be his own entity despite his solo releases sucking

pretty clear batmanglij was the creative beast behind the band, all of these new songs are all souless shit

uh rostam collaborated on this album so he’s partially to blame too

Got you pretentious hipster faggots are so fucking lame. "ROSTAM LEFT THIS ALBUM IS GOING TO BE SHIT". All six singles are fucking jams and sound completely like Vampire Weekend. You Boomer ass faggots just hate anything new because you're contrarian twat waffles.

how are the batmanglijs so based

To "blame" for what? Six great tracks? Christ you guys I guarantee you were saying this same shit when MVOTC came out

out of the songs i've listened it must've been 2021 the only where batmanglij could be invovled

>fucking lam.
>fucking jams
>A

:v

because its the only one that sucks dick? yeah makes sense

Father of the Bride will be critically acclaimed and achieve at least an 8/10 across the board and then you faggots will slurp it up.

2021 is the worst track but it isn't awful.

too bad sunflower will keep it from being a 10/10

>souless
You realize this isn't a legitimate criticism, correct?

soiBOI

why are you people so fucking retarded

>6 solid-to-god tier jams released already
>basically an entire album to go
fuckin sweet fellas

Sunflower is great kid. You just hate it because of Steve Lacey you racist.

i will only trash it out more, im a Fucking Pretentious Hipster Boomer. remember idiot ?? hahahaha

I didn't think they would be able to surpass MVOTC but I gotta say I love all six songs so far. The wait has been worth it.

Just Yea Forums being Yea Forums. They have to wait for Fagtano to praise it first.

it's an opinion, which is exactly why fantano is not a critic and

Your opinion is garbage, kid.

and yet people still ride his dick lol

>Y

:v

it's npcs who can't think for themselves like the ones calling the songs released so far Fucking Jams. tm

They are fucking jams, and you're a nigger. :^)

>The album closer, “Jerusalem, New York, Berlin,” features a reference to the Balfour Declaration, the post-World War I statement announcing support for the establishment of a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine. The writer adds, “Koenig feels strongly that fans should hear the new music before he offers context.”

This. Modest Mouse is the only other American band I can think of that’s even close but they marred their output with Strangers To Ourselves imo

If he starts putting Zionist messages of support in his music, you are correct.

cringe

go listen to Billie eilish

Because he wanted to have a career separate of VW. a lot of indie bands just slowly lose relevancy. He decided to pursue a production/songwriter route and it's been working. can't really blame him for wanting to do that, although these VW songs are suffering as a result.

>never seen VW discussed on Yea Forums
>everyone is suddenly a fan

this

As far as we know he only had some minor additional production on Harmony Hall. stop spewing shit.

cringe. you have to admit that these songs are good but not as good as those on MVotC, Contra, and self-titled. this is so obviously true.

>Because he wanted to have a career separate of VW.
and he couldn't have that while being in VW? like what's the problem if it's six fucking years between albums, that's plenty of time to be writing/producing. can't he do both
>a lot of indie bands just slowly lose relevancy.
VW are still huge and pretty much on the cusp of elder statesmanship at this point, though it would be detrimental to have a break this long ever again. i can easily see them going on indefinite hiatus after this one and ezra doing other stuff

you haven't seen them discussed because their last album came out 6 years ago

i’ve been browsing mu since before contra was released and they were never discussed either

s/t was Yea Forumscore before mpp
modern vampires was highly regarded
this is just shit but shitters will shill everything

ask me how I known you're full of shit

this life is one of ezra's strongest moments yet, genius massive summer festival singalong, and i feel a radio edit of it deserves to be a big fucking hit

contra was all over the place dude

Cringe Tumblr band. Get this normie shit outta here.

i’m being hyperbolic but there have always never be talked about here with any frequency

i bet you enjoy the music of swans, death grips and giles corey

They have been my favourite band for a long time. I'd assume Yea Forums doesn't talk about VW oftwn because they haven't released anything new in like 4-6 years :D

vampire weekend are too good for Yea Forums

you are simply wrong. and wow who would have guessed that a month before an albums release people on Yea Forums would be talking about it.

*CRACK*

*SIP*

Rostam is still working with the band though.

Wrong, that's just cringe Fantanocore. I hate a lot of Fantanocore.

Let's see you provide a single source that shows his contributions beyond "Additional Production" on Harmony Hall.

oh, what's that? nothing? kill yourself

we got some real elite Yea Forumstants in this thread put your trips on guys

maybe on some older songs but he fucked off in 2016. rostam introduced ezra to tavi gevinson a few years ago who was barely legal and 12 years younger. ezra fucked her and pissed off rostam for some reason that had a falling out. rostam is completely checked out of vw

this is basically an ezra album no?
the other two could be dead and no difference would be noticed

Unbearably White is the only great song because it has strings

it's overrated

goddamn it there are no cozy liberal arts colleges in Canada you have to go to McGill/UoT to meet prep kids like that.

Or Western but you're more likely to run into rich meatheads there

If you've never been hungry you'll never make good music.

brainlet tier opinion

I blame the deluge of inspiration porn for this opinion because people don't want to admit that most musicians you listen to either came from privileged/middle class backgrounds or were well connected.

>except for me, that is

Kinda like Dirty Projectors, Vampire Weekend will always be just Ezra Koening.

why would you lie about how much coal you have?

after working in a place for almost 7 months straight where that song played every day without fail, it's really gotten old to me
before that, it was a great song; I wouldn't put it in top tier though

lol that's the privileged hippie libtard school that for some reason enforces academic rigor curriculum yet gives fuck all about being the echo chamber that it is.

it isn't really hippie anymore; that's kind of phasing out
and a lot of people were heavily dissatisfied with the the protests, or at least the direction they took

digits dont lie

i higly doubt that trick will be a hearfelt ode to israel, if you know anything about ezra's political opinions

doesn't matter. it's like that at all schools. of course not everyone is in agreement with the modern campus liberals, but the opposition tends to say nothing. they crouch down and hide behind anonymity on the internet to complain. it's either stamp out the hysteria in its tracks or let them trample you.

ladies of cambridge is their best track don’t @ me

>of course not everyone is in agreement with the modern campus liberals
well, they're more like radical liberals
everyone else is just plain liberal

>Following a hiatus from Vampire Weekend, Koenig wrote and produced an animated comedy-adventure series about a depressive, demon-slaying playboy voiced by Jaden Smith.

>Yokio is presented in the style of a Japanese anime series. However, in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he stated that he believes the show is not a traditional anime, "First of all, out of respect for true anime, I've always called Neo Yokio "anime-inspired" – it's a hybrid. But I've always been a fan of anime, and I always wanted to do something that was kind of an homage to it. Maybe a loving parody. Initially the people I was working with thought I should be the voice of the main character, but I was, like, 'I just spent seven years being the frontman of something, using my voice all the time. What I need right now is to slip into the background of something.'"

>not a single mention of Chris and Chris
