Product Details
Ezra Koenig and Rostam Batmanglij pulled back from the Afropop textures that defined Vampire Weekend's early work here, leaning into orchestral arrangements, pitch-shifted vocals, and a preoccupation with mortality and faith that caught a lot of people off guard. It won the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2014, and the critical consensus held up: this is the record where a smart indie band figured out how to be something larger.
Modern Vampires of the City is Vampire Weekend's third album, and it is a bustling world of voices and visions from the death of Henry Hudson to the Orthodox girl falling in love at an uptown falafel shop, from Hannah Hunt tearing up the New York Times on a distant beach to the lethal chandelier of "Everlasting Arms," from the ardent yearning of "Don't Lie" to the harmonized voice of hope in "Young Lion". Modern Vampires of the City has a grandeur and romanticism evocative of the city where it was conceived.
