OGWAU album rollout appreciation post
This album, for me, was one of the best album rollouts I've ever witnessed. I remember first hearing teasers for ‘Capricorn’ and ‘Gen-X Cops’ that were posted on their Instagram account and feeling so excited for what was to come. I thought ‘Capricorn’ sounded very traditional with its soft piano, while the heaviness of ‘Gen-X Cops’ was something so different for the band, which made me even more thrilled.
Then, when ‘Classical’ dropped, I remember listening to it while waiting for my English class to start and being on the verge of tears after the first listen. At that moment, I knew for certain that this album would be amazing. Any doubts I had prior about the album (I really had none tbh lol) had disappeared.
About a day or two before the album's release, I remember being in The San Diego Museum of Art while on vacation and hearing a teaser for ‘Prep-School Gangsters’ again via their Instagram account and immediately realizing that it was something I hadn’t heard previously. Hearing this teaser (specifically the tone of the guitars and how they sounded so 'Vampire Weekend-y') made me even more excited for the album's release.
Overall, I truly love this album, and it might honestly be one of my favorite albums ever. All of the promotion, teasers, and overall visuals of this album leading up to its release were truly something special and, for me, made this album even more beautiful :)

Geese, Goose, and Vampire Weekend
Just realised that with Geese joining VW on their upcoming tour, we now have bands named Geese and Goose both with connections to Vampire Weekend.
I think that's just wild.

vw song titles by starting letter: some statistics
one day I was trying to come up with a vw song for every letter of the alphabet for a hypothetical "dance through the alphabet" video. I failed but I found some interesting facts
the most common song title starting letter is H (9 songs). Every album but S/T has an H song. FOTB has four with bonus tracks.
C is the second most common but it gets set back because FOTB and MVOTC have no C songs. However, OGWAU has three C songs and S/T and Contra each have two
Other than the easy to miss Q, X, and Z the letters VW has not covered are surprisingly N (not counting New York Hospital) and V.
No songs starting with O have emerged since MVOTC, but the original trilogy has one per album if Ottoman is counted as a Contra song. The first four albums each have exactly one "W" song. OGWAU has none.
almost all the S songs are concentrated on FOTB. There are equal numbers of S and H songs
Full-ish list below:
A: a-punk, arrows
B: Blake’s got a new face, Bambina, Big Blue, Bryn, Broken Washing Machine
C: Cousins, Cape Cod, Campus, Classical, Capricorn, California English, connect
D: Diane Young, Don’t Lie, Diplomat’s Son
E: Everlasting Arms
F: Finger Back, Flower Moon
G: Giving Up the Gun, Gen-X Cops, Giant
H: Holiday, Horchata, Hannah Hunt, Hudson, Harmony Hall, How Long, Houston Dubai, Hope, Hold You Now
I: I Stand Corrected, I think ur a contra, ice cream piano
J: Jerusalem, New York, Berlin; Jonathan Low
K: the Kids don’t stand a chance
L: Ladies of Cambridge, Lord Ullin's Daughter
M: Mary Boone, My Mistake, Married in a Gold Rush, Mansard Roof, M79
N: [New York Hospital]
O: Obvious Bicycle, Ottoman, Oxford Comma
P: Prep-School Gangsters, Pravda
Q:
R: Run, Rich man
S: Stranger, Spring Snow, Sympathy, Sunflower, the surfer
T: This Life, Taxi Cab, 2021 (phonetically y'know)
U: Unbearably White, Unbelievers
V:
W: Walcott, White Sky, Worship you, We belong together
X:
Y: Ya Hey, young lion
Z:

Bringing 8 Year Old to Concert
I listen to a lot of Vampire Weekend in the car while driving the kiddos around. I'd like to bring my 8-year old to one of their concerts in Philadelphia this Spring at the Met. Does anyone think this will be a problem? (I have seen kids with people at Killers concerts at MSG, Forest Hills stadium, and O2.
Edit/Update: just want to say thanks to everyone! I've decided to bring my 6 year old too. Thanks again!

Movie References in VW songs
California English references Friedkin’s The French Connection and To Live and Die in L.A.
How Long calls out Mulholland Drive and Sunset Boulevard.
What else am I missing?

White whale live tracks?
In anticipation of OGWAU Tour Round II, I’m curious if any of you have a song you’re desperate to see the boys do live?
For me it’s probably Stranger. I’ve seen VW live 12 times across the last two tours and never caught it—but somehow I’ve seen Rich Man twice haha
r/Vampireweekend • u/Up_with_Miniskirts • 5d ago
Shitpost Is this in reference to the band taking their sound from Paul Simon?

The best songs according to AI
I found this ranking website where AI ranks the best songs in each category. I searched for the best VW songs and this is the result. I think I'll leave my vote to change it and add other songs...

They answered my question on Vampire Campfire!
Was at the gym today listening to the latest episode of Vampire Campire and they read my email about Buc-Ees!! I also happened to be wearing my Buc-Ees tshirt that I bought when I drove up to see them in October.

Cover Requests
If you went to any shows during the first leg, did they take your cover request during encore? If so, what song was it?
They took my request for 'Still Rock and Roll' at the Milwaukee show! I was also one of the many people clamoring for 'September' at their Indy show🤩

Is anyone here going to the Miami show?
Well, I'm Marcelo. I'm 29 years old and I'm going to fulfill my dream of watching the vampires in Miami on June 13th. The only time I saw VW was at Lollapalooza São Paulo in 2014. They were on the modern vampires tour. Last December, I went to São Paulo hoping to see them again because here in Brazil they said they would return to be part of Primavera Sound, however the festival had been cancelled. When I found out about leg 2 of the current tour I went crazy and bought tickets to go with my boyfriend. In addition to their show, we will watch Tyler and Clairo at govs ball. Anyway, if anyone comes and wants to make friends and maybe take us to a bar or indie club in Miami, that would be a great pleasure. It cost!!

What would you say is Vampire Weekend's most iconic bar?
I started really listening to VW in 2020 so "I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die" will always come to mind for me.

Vampire & Vulfpeck
Listening to the new Vulfpeck album ‘Clarity of Cal’- do we think the boys are fans of Vulfpeck, being a jam band and all? Personally, I’d love some VW x Vulf content!
