  1. Harmony Hall reminds me of the shins too

    i know i'm hearing wilco and shins through their shared influences but still. I love these songs

    Not Kyle Shanahan Prestigious

    Gotta feeling that won’t be the only call back on the album and we’re in store for something very interesting.

    They’ve done callbacks before

    I hated MM (felt extremely pretentious) so I’m fine with FotB

    Vampire Weekend? Pretentious?

    Ezra somehow walks the line of pretentiousness but makes it cool

    I love VW and part of it is its pretentiousness as @Matt well said, they know their shit

    but

    MM was too much even for them

    Mitsubishi Macchiato fit that 'line between pretentious and cool' perfectly. I trust Ezra that the album itself no longer fits the MM title, but I'm nonplussed w/r/t Father of the Bride.

    Love these. The callback works, but I am just generally a sucker for a callback. Hoping thematically this is as tight as the last album. Also. Bring on summer. VW sounds better in summer.
     
  16. MVOTC is maybe my favorite early morning album, especially on a rainy day

    harmony hall already feels like a classic VW song
