Vampire Weekend released two new songs off of their upcoming LP, Father of the Bride. “Sunflower” is a whimsical synth-pop song that gives extraterrestrial vibes, and their second release, “Big Blue,” features mellow, sweet melodies. The group also released music videos for both songs, accompanied by minimalist visualizers that enhance the music without leaving the audience distracted.

Along with the new releases, the New York City natives announced that Father of the Bride is set to be released on May 3. Pre-order the album here.
