Poll: Are You Still Excited About Vampire Weekend?
By Seraphina L.
Remember when Vampire Weekend first came on the scene, and people were already declaring them as the best new band of the year? (Spin 2008) Well, I was one of those people who were really excited about them as well. I don’t even know how many times I’ve listened to that album. However, it’s been a while since I’ve pulled that record out for a spin.
Now, after a few major appearances and mini-tours under their belt, they are beginning to record a sophomore album, that’s been long awaited by devoted fans. Singer, Ezra Koenig, told EW, that they were basically done with the LP but are still putting the finishing touches on it so it’ll have a “sculpted” sound. Keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij takes part as producer again.
Hmm… Vampire Weekend is finally coming back? What do you think of this? Do you still even listen to Vampire Weekend? Did the hype kill them off for you? Do you care that there’s going to be another album? Do you think they’ll succeed? So many questions, and just one upcoming album to give us all these answers. Let us know what you think by voting below!

What do you mean "finally" coming back. They're last album came out last year! You make it sound like we've been sitting around waiting for three years.
