Vampire Weekend Shares New Songs "This Life" & "Unbearably White"

in CultureWords By Miranda Unwin

Vampire Weekend just dropped the final pair of singles off their forthcoming album, Father of the Bride. "This Life" will sound especially familiar to longtime fans of the band with the catchy, jangly guitars and frontman Ezra Koenig's distinctive vocals. The lyrics even include a line from iLoveMakonnen's TK song "Tonight": “You’ve been cheatin’ on, cheatin’ on me. I’ve been cheatin’ on, cheatin’ on you.” Koenig actually featured on a remix of iLoveMakonnen's "Down 4 So Long" back in 2014.

"Unbearably White" is a lot softer and slower, but still recognizably a Vampire Weekend track. Last month, Vampire Weekend shared the official music video for their Steve Lacy-assisted single "Sunflower" starring Jerry Seinfeld. Father of the Bride marks the band's first album in six years and is slated to drop on May 3. In the meantime, scroll down to stream both of the singles.
