Vampire Weekend has once again released their monthly batch of two new singles for March with “Sunflower” and “Big Blue.” The band also announced that their album, “Father Of The Bride”, will be released on May 3.
The first single, “Sunflower”, features Steve Lacy from The Internet. This is the first time Vampire Weekend has ever had a featured artist on any of their songs. In an Instagram post from lead singer Ezra Koenig, he shouts out Lacy for his contribution to the track and mentions how Lacy was a fan of the band growing up. Later in the post, Koenig confirmed that Jonah Hill will be directing the video for “Sunflower,” due to be released soon.
The other track, titled “Big Blue”, is a slower, spacier song, that comes across with light guitars and a synthy beat that glosses over the track. It’s a short and sweet track from the band, that sounds like a dream.
The next pair of singles should be released sometime in April, gearing up for the release of the album in May.
