Father of the Bride is the fourth studio album by American indie rock band Vampire Weekend. It wasreleased on May 3, 2019 by Columbia Records as their first album on a major label, and was preceded by three double singles: "Harmony Hall" / "2021", "Sunflower" / "Big Blue" and "This Life" / "Unbearably White". The album is the band's first project in nearly six years, following Modern Vampires of the City (2013),and the group's first album since multi-instrumentalist and producer Rostam Batmanglij's departurefrom the group. The album was primarily produced by Modern Vampires of the City collaborator ArielRechtshaid and lead singer Ezra Koenig, and features numerous external collaborators, including Danielle Haim, Steve Lacy, Dave Macklovitch of Chromeo. DJ Dahi, David Longstreth, BloodPop, MarkRonson, and Batmanglij. Year: 2019 Genre: Indie Pop / Indie Rock Quality: mp3, 320 kbps. Track list: 01. Hold You Now (feat. Danielle Haim) 02. Harmony Hall 03. Bambina 04. This Life 05. Big Blue 06. How Long? 07. Unbearably White 08. Rich Man 09. Married in a Gold Rush (feat. Danielle Haim) 10. My Mistake 11. Sympathy 12. Sunflower (feat. Steve Lacy) 13. Flower Moon (feat. Steve Lacy) 14. 2021 15. We Belong Together (feat. Danielle Haim) 16. Stranger 17. Spring Snow 18. Jerusalem, New York, Berlin. The "lurching" art pop of "How Long?" contrasts jovial keyboards, sound effects, harmonies and funky 1970s-inspired guitars against dark and bitter lyrics about the potential demise of Los Angeles.[20][27][17] "Unbearably White" is a "colorful" art pop song, which grows and shifts to reveal isolated vocals, handbells, jazz fusion-inspired bass guitar, and orchestral surges, and lyrically discusses a failing relationship. Despite contrary comments made by Koenig prior to the song's release, the track does not explore race.[19][35][36][17] The cryptic "Rich Man" samples palm-wine guitarist S. E. Rogie and features lush strings, with Koenig "crooning" about romance, wealth and ratios.[25][37] "Married in a Gold Rush" is a "lush" country song which also features Danielle Haim. Vampire Weekend start '2021' with new 40:42 EP featuring two new reinterpretations of their song. For their new 40:42 EP released Thursday, the Grammy-winning band commissioned acclaimed jazz saxophonist Sam Gendel and the Connecticut rock quintet Goose to both create their own reinterpretations of the Father of the Bride album track. One twist though: Vampire Weekend gave Gendel and Goose the directive to turn their one minute and thirty-nine second long song into two twenty minute and twenty-one second versions (hence the title 40:42 ). In addition to fans being able to hear the two unique interpretations, Gendel and Goose both came with their own visuals. While Gendel's jazzy take comes with some improvisational animation, Goose chose to film themselves performing an intimate, up-close take on the song. Watch both Sam Gendel and Goose's versions of Vampire Weekend's "2021" above. The 40:42 EP is now available to stream across all digital platforms. Father of the Bride.

After the eponymous Vampire Weekend (2008), Contra (2010) and Modern Vampires of the City (2013), Ezra Koenig’s band took a six-year break punctuated by the departure of the very influential Rostam Batmanglij who released an excellent solo record Half-Light in 2017. Their last album to date, Modern Vampires of the City , was a distinctive evolution in the works of the New York combo. The Talking Heads influence had been abandoned for a more refined and polished pop sound, found as much in the melodies and harmonies as in its style. Koenig, now the main creative force left in the group, has left New York and relocated to LA. Father of the Bride confirms his artistic ambition. His central style remains inherently pop, but each of the 18 songs in the album offer a different outlook. There is a bit of everything in this copious record; The Beatles, Beach Boys, Fleetwood Mac, Supertramp, Paul Simon, Wilco, Grateful Dead and hundreds of other influences can be noted. The collaborators on the album are equally diverse: the pedal steel and impressionist guitars of Greg Leisz, the voice of Danielle Haim of HAIM, the guitar of Dave Longstreth of the Dirty Projectors, Steve Lacy of the Internet and even Rostam enters the fold on two titles. While listening to the record, one might ask themselves if Ezra Koenig has made a White Album (the most eclectic album by the Beatles) all by himself… © Marc Zisman/Qobuz. Vampire Weekend Is Looking For The Cool Within The Uncool. Vampire Weekend's Father of the Bride, the band's first album in six years, is out May 3. Michael Schmelling/Courtesy of the artist. Vampire Weekend's last album, Modern Vampires of the City , helped vault it to festival headliner status, and topped year-end best-of lists when it was released. But that was six years ago — and a lot has happened in the time since. One of the main creative forces in the band, Rostam Batmanglij, left the group in early 2016. While the remaining members focused on side projects, voices in the music industry were beginning to float the idea that guitar rock might have slipped out of relevance. And then, of course, came the 2016 presidential election. New Music. Vampire Weekend Releases 2 Songs From 'Father Of The Bride' This week, the band returns at long last with its fourth LP, Father of the Bride . Lead singer and guitarist Ezra Koenig joined NPR's Audie Cornish to discuss how age, experience and time away have changed his approach to songwriting; addressing politics both on record and onstage with Senator Bernie Sanders; and why, for a group like Vampire Weekend, the decline of guitar rock might not be the worst news. Hear the radio version at the audio link, and read more of their conversation below. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Audie Cornish: I think of your music, in terms of some of the later albums, as being bittersweet in a way: cheerfully narrating a fair amount of pain. On this album, the song that made me think of that was "This Life." Not just because the word "suffering" is in it — I think this is a good example of that cheeriness that isn't really matched lyrically. Ezra Koenig: Growing up, I always liked artists like The Smiths and The Cure: They have some very upbeat, cheerful songs, but it's such a contrast with the lyrics. That always just made a lot of sense to me — especially if you're trying to kind of create a snapshot of life as you know it, that every song would have a mixture of joy and pain. It's interesting that you bring up the word "suffering," because at some point, I realized that three of the songs had the word "suffering" in the chorus. The first song we put out, "Harmony Hall," had this part that went,"I thought that I was free from all that suffering." Almost like a Buddhist way of thinking: You think you've finally figured out a way to be free from suffering, but of course, life is a cycle. But then, I actually changed it to "questioning," which I think is better for the song. I like that song because it also gets to this idea a lot of people wrestle with — of people and places that have maybe let you down. I don't know if I'm reading too much into that line, "Anybody with a worried mind could never forgive the sight / Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified." No, I think that's a fair interpretation. And yeah, also trying to come to terms with the idea that not only can it be painful or disorienting when an institution or a group or something lets you down, but that that's almost built into the fabric of reality, and you can't be shocked by it every time that it happens. But we all have been, right? I mean, I haven't had a soundtrack for that emotion. But the feeling that there is corruption in this place, or ugliness in this place, and how do I reconcile with that? Yeah, that's the funny thing. I always think about high school and college and reading books — from 100, 200, a thousand years ago, 2,000 years ago — where people are more or less saying the same thing about the cyclical nature of government, politics, even just individual pain and suffering. You read all that stuff when you're a kid and yet you're still a little bit surprised when you feel it in a personal way or a generational way or a national way. As much as we've been prepared for it by the wisdom of the ancients, it still is always shocking. Music Interviews. Vampire Weekend: 'Modern Vampires of the City' And The End Of An Era. [With] "This Life," that was the inspiration for the opening lines: "Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain / I just thought it didn't rain in California." You know all these things are lurking out there, and you still weep. Maybe we all have this gambler's nature, that we're going to be the one who bets big and wins big despite the obvious risks.

With the Internet able to build up or tear down artists almost as soon as they start practicing, the advance word and intense scrutiny doesn't always do a band any favors. By the time they've got a full-length album ready to go, the trend-spotters are already several Hot New Bands past them. Vampire Weekend started generating buzz in 2006 -- not long after they formed -- but their self-titled debut album didn't arrive until early 2008.

    ROADSIDE PICNIC Arkady and Boris Strugatsky Translated from the Russian by Antonina W. Bouis Cryptomaoist Editions FROM AN INTERVIEW BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT FROM HARMONT RADIO WITH DOCTOR VALENTINE PILMAN, RECIPIENT OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS FOR 19.. "I suppose that your first serious discovery, Dr. Pilman, should be considered what is now called the Pilman Radiant?" "I don't think so. The Pilman Radiant wasn't the first, nor was it serious, nor was it really a discovery. And it wasn't completely mine, either." "Surely you're joking, doctor. The Pilman Radiant is a concept known to every schoolchild." "That doesn't surprise me. According to some sources, the Pilman Radiant was discovered by a schoolboy. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name. Look it up in Stetson's History of the Visitation -- it's described in full detail there. His version is that the radiant was discovered by a schoolboy, that a college student published the coordinates, but that for some unknown reason it was named after me." "Yes, many amazing things can happen with a discovery. Would you mind explaining it to our listeners, Dr. Pilman?" "The Pilman Radiant is simplicity itself. Imagine that you spin a huge globe and you start firing bullets into it. The bullet holes would lie on the surface in a smooth curve. The whole point of what you call my first serious discovery lies in the simple fact that all six Visitation Zones are situated on the surface of our planet as though someone had taken six shots at Earth from a pistol located some- where along the Earth-Deneb line.

Cherecwich Cook to Learn: A Food-Focused Curriculum for Grades 3-5 In this Integrated Master’s Project, I argue that a new curriculum is needed to address the following: (a) plant-based foods and from-scratch food preparation practices are strongly connected to positive outcomes for children, (b) diets high in processed foods can lead to negative health outcomes (c) students aged 8-10 are particularly well suited to learn more about food, (d) studying food offers many opportunities for interdisciplinary learning across many subjects (literacy, math, science and social studies) and (d) food-focused learning connects particularly well to common learning objectives for students in grades 3-5, yet (e) there is currently a dearth of appropriate curricular materials to meet the needs of today’s student population.
