Ezra Koenig Confirms New Vampire Weekend Music in the Works

December 31, 2021

Ezra Koenig stopped by Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus’ Apple radio show, After School, to drop some exciting news about upcoming Vampire Weekend music.

“Yeah, we’ve been working on music and, yeah, we were just recording in England for a while, now back in LA working with everybody,” he told Hoppus.

“And, yeah, I mean, I think we’re… I’m always hesitant to — sometimes I oversell how close we are with the record because who really knows? But we almost have an album’s worth of songs. And, as you well know, you could tinker with a song forever; change the arrangement, change the lyrics, whatever. But, in that sense we’re close. I have no idea how long it’ll take to finish, but we’re feeling really good about the new material. So, yeah, a lot of studio time to come after the holidays.”

While no official release date was included in the tease, Koenig has definitely excited fans for something to look forward to sooner than later.
