Vulture: What were your first impressions of the Beatles? “That they were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing motherfuckers. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don’t even talk about it. I just imagine Ezra sitting quietly in some corner with Quincy listening to A-Punk shaking his head.
Rostam on Leaving Vampire Weekend and Going Solo Fair warning that I haven't listened to this, but I read that Rostam confirms he has made new music with Ezra recently. Who wants to give a full listen and report back?!?!
I believe it. Someone asked him on Instagram recently about Vampire Weekend and he said he didnt talk about VW because he “didn’t want to give anything away too soon.”
it's kinda funny how Pitchfork based their headline off the "double album part" Vampire Weekend Promise Double Album, New Music Out Next Week | Pitchfork ...but it really seems that he is saying that it's NOT a double album. It's 59 minutes and is split on two LPs. I guess we will see, it just seems like the wrong part of the whole post to call out in the headline. Clickbait maybe? Probably.
