After a break that seemed like it lasted a lifetime, Vampire Weekend finally released new music in January for the first time since 2013. Yesterday, the group revealed their first video for the single “Harmony Hall.”
The video, directed by Emmett Malloy, features front man Ezra Koenig making some breakfast and a wild snake slithering his way through fresh fruits. The visuals on this thing are light and saturated just a touch, but flow in synch with that entrancing guitar riff that runs through the song. Jonah Hill pops in at the end for a cameo too, who confirmed via Instagram that he will be directing and editing the next music video for the group.
Vampire Weekend is set to release two more new songs this month as they ramp up to release their album titled Father Of The Bride in April. The band has an upcoming tour that starts in May, as well as a stop at Lollapalooza.
