As promised earlier in the day,
We're dropping two new songs from MVOTC in ONE HOUR
— Vampire Weekend (@vampireweekend) March 18, 2013
Vampire Weekend have given us two new songs in advance of their upcoming Modern Vampires of the City.
"Step" is somewhat reminiscent of "Ottoman" from the Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist soundtrack. The upbeat, electronic rockabilly of "Diane Young," like "Giving Up The Gun" or "California English" from Contra, takes the band's sound in sort of a new direction while still retaining a lot of what makes Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend.
Each of these songs just reinforces the fact that what I've always found cool about Vampire Weekend is their uncoolness, if that makes any sense.
Modern Vampires of the City is out on May 7th, and you can get a limited 7" of the two songs released today on April 9th.
