Only God Was Above Us (Album Trailer) by Vampire Weekend

After missing the first issue (pressing?) of Frog on the Bass Drum by two months, I solemnly swore right then and there that I would not rest, I would not sleep for an instant, until the next release.

In all seriousness, Vampire Weekend is one of the few bands I regularly search for to get tidbits on what's next. There's probably a better method than the occasional Google search, but here I am. I remember the Pitchfork article from December that mentioned some album news from that first Frog on the Bass Drum newsletter.

“LP news by the end of the year. It’s close to done and I feel like it just might be our best yet. 10 songs, no skips.”

They are one of my all-time favorite bands. Thrilled there next album is just two months away, especially after waiting six years for the last one.1 For now, April 5, 2024 cannot come soon enough.
