Song of the Week


Modern Vampires of the City
Vampire Weekend just released their third album, Modern Vampires of the City.  Somehow, the band have made a record that is tighter, stranger, and arguably stronger than their first two classics.  The college kids have become adults; the arch insights have given way to arresting ruminations, heavy things like relationships, belief, and death.  All while still sounding like the most accessible pop band on earth.  Check out the lyric video for "Ya Hey."  (Yes, for you Old Testament fans and Bloom readers, that is a play on Yahweh).
