American rock band Vampire Weekend, consisting of Ezra Koenig (vocals/guitar), Chris Baio (bass) and Chris Tomson (drums), released the third single called “Classical” from their upcoming fifth studio album “Only God Was Above Us” on March 14, 2024.
The track was written and produced by Ezra Koenig, with production Ariel Rechtshaid.
The accompanying music video was directed by Nick Harwood.
In the clip, the band performed the song against a green screen backdrop featuring fresco paintings, churches, and clocks, drawing history as a dark sunrise through a VHS video camera.
The new album comprises a 10-track and is set to be released on April 5, 2024.- Earlier this month, the band lunched a new podcast ”Vampire Campfire”.
The band lead singer Ezra Koenig saod of the podcast, “Me, CT and Baio have talked for years about doing some kind of podcast but it never really clicked until we added the primordial element of FIRE. Sitting by a campfire and chatting is a favorite VW pastime and now it’s been captured on a trio of Ikegami ITC-730AP cameras.”
He continued, “We talk new music, influences and our upcoming tour. We also discuss the potential of a future album called ‘The 40-Year-Old E-Mail.’” - source : Apple Music
