From their punchy debut (A-Punk), to the more sonically dense Contra (White Sky), through to the reflective symphonies on Modern Vampires of the City (Step).
Vampire Weekend have made one of the best pop trilogies of the modern day. While going from massively disputed to quite possibly the most respected band in the indie scene. And what makes their execution even more memorable is that they’ve done this while evolving with each ensuing album. Their progression feels so natural and yet they’ve remained recognizably Vampire Weekend. If you listen to their albums in order, it makes perfect sense -- like it was exactly what the group hoped it to be from the very start. Visually they even look connected. But their musical arc is just as much about Rostam Batmanglij’s evolution as a producer and Ezra Koenig’s maturation as a writer.
A story of a band growing up.
