Ezra Koenig gives an update on the new Vampire Weekend album

  • Dork News Desk
  • March 27, 2017
Ezra Koenig has taken to Instagram to give an update on the new Vampire Weekend album.





Bad news: It’s not done.

Good news: We’ve got lots of tidbits of information to get excited by.





“We gotta take our time & get it right but the fans deserve some information. I know it feels like it’s been an eternity since the last one but time…is strange,” the post begins. 2016 saw Ezra writing the album and they are spending 2017 recording it, “trying to finish ASAP”. There’s a working title of “‘Mitsubishi Macchiato’ cuz it is a helpful concept” and two songs currently called ‘Conversation’ and ‘Flower Moon’. Also, “it’s a lil more springtime than the last one. Guitar’s not dead,” so that’s nice.





Though Ezra does finish by explaining, “I should probably stop there cuz all of that information is subject to change & I can’t tell you the really good stuff anyway.”




every day I get comments & questions about the next Vampire Weekend album. obviously, we gotta take our time & get it right but the fans deserve some information. I know it feels like it’s been an eternity since the last one but time…is strange. this is what’s been happening: 2013- MVOTC release 2014 – still touring/promoting 2015 – mental health year (putting 3 albums in stores was taxing), worked on a vibey project you’ll hear abt soon 2016- writing LP4, long days in the library researching w/ the grad students 2017 – recording, trying to finish ASAP what else can I tell you without playing myself? hmm, it’s a lil more springtime than the last one. guitar’s not dead. there are songs (currently) called “Conversation” & “Flower Moon.” Flower Moon is hard to finish but I think it belongs on the album. working title is still Mitsubishi Macchiato cuz it is a helpful concept. I should probably stop there cuz all of that information is subject to change & I can’t tell you the really good stuff anyway ?????????????
