Feb 20, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend are releasing a new album, Father of the Bride, this April via Columbia (exact release date TBA). They have already shared two songs from it: “Harmony Hall” (which was #2 on our Songs of the Week list) and “2021.” Now they have shared a video for “Harmony Hall.” Emmett Malloy directed the quirky clip, which features frontman Ezra Koenig making fancy pancakes in a robe, as well as lots of shots of a snake and more. As well as Koenig and his bandmates, the video features producer Ariel Rechtshaid, actor Jonah Hill, Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange), and perhaps HAIM’s Danielle Haim. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Father of the Bride is the band’s fourth album and is expected to feature 18 songs in 59 minutes. The band’s last album was 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City. Since then founding member/producer Rostam Batmanglij left the band as a full-time member.

Koenig wrote “Harmony Hall,” which was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and Koenig, with additional production by Batmanglij. Koenig and Haruomi Hosono wrote “2021,” which produced by Rechtshaid and Koenig.
