Vampire Weekend new music
Ahead of the album’s release — the band’s first since the experimental two-track 40-minute “40:42” EP — Vampire Weekend dropped a pair of singles “Capricorn” and “Gen-X Cops.”
“Capricorn” is a gorgeous piano ballad that fits right in with the group’s Grammy winning “Father of the Bride.” Koenig’s soft, unassuming vocals glide over lush keys until the tune goes into overdrive two minutes in with discordant noise-rock before bringing it back to basics.
Clocking in at 3:47, “Gen-X Cops” transitions from an out and out garage rock anthem into something a bit more precious — a hard driving, head bopping indie anthem.
The two songs couldn’t be more different but both are distinctly Vampire Weekendian.
You can listen to both here.
