Vampire Weekend talk new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 30 April 2012
Vampire Weekend have said that, much as they’d like to release a successor to 2010’s ‘Contra’ by the end of the year, they don’t feel especially pressed to do so.
Lead singer Ezra Koenig tells Rolling Stone: “It would be cool if it was [released] this year. I always want to release music as soon as possible, but more and more I’m realising it’s something you almost have no control over”.
Despite the band having done “a ton of stuff” towards a tbc third studio album, he adds: “We just never want to be in a position [where] when we put out something, we feel we could’ve benefited from more time”.
So, while prizing songwriting quality over deadlines is great and all… such an attitude might mean a new VW LP is a while away yet.
