Vampire Weekend have yet to detail the full track list for the long-awaited album, which follows 2013s Modern Vampires of the City. The band recently previewed the 18-track record with two new songs, Harmony Hall and 2021, and they plan to issue two additional sets of songs before the LPs release date.
Father of the Bride, the groups first since the departure of longtime multi-instrumentalist/producer Rostam Batmanglij, is their first to feature guest vocalists. Weve had three albums of the same voice over and over again, singer Ezra Koenig told Rolling Stone. I like the idea of opening up our world a little bit.
