Music Reviews
Editorial Reviews
Rolling Stone - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[Koenig] has stuffed his hooks and bridges with so many change-ups in rhythm, guitar tone and dramatic instrumental flourish that, by the finish, you feel like you've been whipped through a modern-pop homage to the Beatles' ABBEY ROAD medley -- twice over."
Rolling Stone - Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2019" -- "Bandleader Ezra Koenig continued to expertly capture the big and little tragedies and comedies that engulf individual lives and the world at large."
Spin - "FATHER OF THE BRIDE is more personal and inward looking than any of their previous three..."
Entertainment Weekly - "Frontman Ezra Koenig explores mortality and new fatherhood in ways both melancholy and serene..."
Uncut - "[I]t's every bit as immediate and listenable as it is confident, and more buoyant overall than the sombre MODERN VAMPIRES..."
Billboard - "[L]ooser, lighter, less urgent. It is also more jammy than anything the band has put forth before, but this is not a Phish record; rather, the group used the extra space as room to wander and explore with purpose."
Billboard - "Forever reviving the unrevivable, the band finds rich soil to till in harmony-laden '70s country-pop, jaunty '80s adult alternative and Grateful Dead phases that real fans can probably ID to the exact gig date. It's all blended with VW's typical acuity for gently off-kilter hooks..."
NME (Magazine) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The first album in nearly six-years is a key reinvention for the indie stalwarts, with a looseness and funkiness that proves, thankfully, they've not overthought the comeback."
Paste (magazine) - "Ezra Koenig expertly spins even the shabbiest couplets into nuance -- and he does it to the tune of pure sunshine."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Vampire Weekend return with a shaggy, sprawling double album all about rebirth, contentment, and the reclamation of light."
Clash (Magazine) - "'Rich Man' sees Koenig croon romantically over some lush strings and a repeated lo-fi melody to gorgeous effect..."
