New Yorkers at the top of their game on elaborate love letter to their hometown... Earlier this year, on Easter Saturday, the four members of Vampire Weekend took a stroll along New York's Fifth Avenue accompanied by the actor Steve Buscemi. It was the occasion of the Easter Parade, and so the band wore slightly brighter threads than usual, topped off with bunny ears and silver top hats, and each carried a basket full of sweets to hand to children on the way...

It can be difficult to gain a balanced perspective on an album after reading a single summary of the music. Bias can tilt a review, as can personal taste, history and just about everything else that is unique to the person writing it. So in an effort to offer an expanded perspective in such a medium, here are three reactions, three impressions, three takes on Modern Vampires of the City by Vampire Weekend...

Release Date: May 14th 2013 New York indie-pop band Vampire Weekend was a band that I was never hugely into, for whatever reason. A couple years ago, I managed to snag some free credit on Amazon's MP3 store, and I always love it when they do that, because I can get a couple single songs that I've been meaning to check out, but I noticed that they had an album of the day thing going on.

The chandelier that filled most of the cover of Vampire Weekend's debut album looked like it was hovering happily above a happening college party. On the new album's seventh song, Everlasting Arms, we're "trapped beneath the chandelier that's going down." Modern Vampires Of The City closes a loose trilogy of albums for a band who are clearly relishing exploring the darker 'vampire' part of their band-name over the carefree 'weekend'...

The modern, thinking indie rock fan's band of choice, Vampire Weekend return from extended leave with their third album. While MVOTC doesn't represent a seismic leap from their earlier material, the general feeling is of a much more considered collection, with greater emphasis on song craft...

Sometimes strange things happen and bands once easily written off go and do something completely unexpected, like making a record so good that it forces the listener to reconsider most of their preconceived notions and hang-ups about that band and their audience. Sometimes that listener is me and the band is Vampire Weekend and the record is Modern Vampires of the City, and this combination throws me into crisis mode...
