Vampire Weekend is coming at you hard today with their release of two new tracks over which you can obsess. These are the final two offerings ahead of the full release of their upcoming fourth album, Father of the Bride.
The songs are entitled “This Life” and “Unbearably White.” The former features backing vocals from Danielle Haim and additional guitar from Jake Longstreth, who you may recognize as Ezra Koenig’s colleague on his Beats1 radio show Time Crisis. The song was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and Ezra Koenig with additional production by Dave Macklovitch.
“Unbearably White” was written by Ezra Koenig and produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and Koenig with additional production by BloodPop.
Father of the Bride is due out May 3rd on Columbia Records. Stream the new tracks below.
