Vampire Weekend Share New Single "Classical"
Band's Third Single from Upcoming Album "Modern Vampires of the City"
Review Highlights Song's Introspective Lyrics and Atmospheric Arrangement
New York, March 18, 2024 (The Musical Hype) - Vampire Weekend have released their third single "Classical" from their highly anticipated upcoming album "Modern Vampires of the City." The song follows the previously released singles "Capricorn" and "Gen-X Cops," and features the band's signature blend of indie rock and world music influences.
Critics have praised "Classical" for its introspective lyrics, which explore themes of family, identity, and the passage of time. The song's atmospheric arrangement, which features delicate piano melodies and soaring strings, has also been noted for its ability to create a sense of both nostalgia and melancholy.
One review of the song from Only God Was Above Us described it as "a journey through modern disaster that ends with a sense of acceptance and resilience." Another review from Pitchfork praised the song's "timeless quality" and called it "a perfect summation of Vampire Weekend's unique sound."
Vampire Weekend are scheduled to release "Modern Vampires of the City" on April 15, 2024. The album is the band's third studio album, and their first since 2013's "Contra."
