A song-by-song album run-through

Vampire weekend burst onto the music scene in 2006 with their stunning self-titled debut album.

They went on to release two more albums, Contra and Modern Vampires Of The City. In 2016, founding member Rostrum announced he was leaving the band but would still collaborate with them.

It's taken three years for frontman Ezra Keonig to put together album number four but it's been well worth the wait.

'Father of the Bride' came out onFriday (3rd May). Listen above to Eddy Temple-Morris' chat with Ezra about the making of it as they play some of the standout songs from the album.
