#18 | Vampire Weekend | Father of the Bride
Columbia

According to Liz Itkowsky: “Produced by frequent collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid, returning after working on Modern Vampires of the City (2013), the album is bright and poppy, much lighter than its predecessor….There are charming pop songs aplenty, but less highly-orchestrated alchemy, the kind of magic that’s become the expectation over their 13-year career.”
