Vampire Weekend "Modern Vampires of the City" 2026-05-15 Blending Doom's trademark abstractions and'Modern Vampires Of The City' the Third Vampire Weekend album sees the band back on form. They sound like they are having fun again. The songs are pure pop and instant. 'Step' is an absolutely beautiful piece of r&b infused slow pop demonstrating Koenig on top lyrical form, while the likes of 'obvious Bicycle' and 'Hannah Hunt' see the band continue down the slightly more downbeat (but still uber catchy) route. Perfect pop for 2013.
