Earlier this year, Vampire Weekend released their fifth studio album, Only God Was Above Us, via Columbia Records! Met with unanimous rave reviews across the globe, OGWAU finds Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio, and Chris Tomson, along with longtime collaborator and producer Ariel Rechtshaid, expanding an unmatched streak of critical and commercial successes.

 Vampire Weekend is an American rock band formed in New York City in 2006. The band was formed by lead vocalist and guitarist Ezra Koenig, multi-instrumentalist Rostam Batmanglij, drummer Chris Tomson, and bassist Chris Baio. Batmanglij departed the group in early 2016 but has continued to occasionally contribute to subsequent albums as a songwriter, producer, and musician.

The band's debut album, Vampire Weekend, incorporated elements of indie pop, Afropop, and chamber music. Featuring charting singles "A-Punk" and "Oxford Comma," it has been hailed as one of the greatest debut albums. Their sophomore album, Contra, was similarly acclaimed and garnered strong commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200, and featuring well-received singles including "Holiday." Their subsequent studio albums Modern Vampires of the City and Father of the Bride continued the band's success, with each album receiving widespread critical acclaim, topping US charts and winning the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in their respective years.
