Vampire Weekend have announced via their website, that they will release their third studio album May 6th through XL Recordings.
Produced by Ariel Rechtshaid (Major Lazer, Charli XCX) and the band’s own Rostam Batmanglij, the as-yet-titled was recorded in both New York City and Los Angeles.
In a recent interview, frontman Ezra Koenig called their latest effort 'dark', 'organic', and that it "really does feel like the third chapter in a book."
"We created some characters on the first record, some of which are real people, some of which are ourselves, so it’s not so hard to keep following them and see what their concerns are now and how their lives have changed." He added.
Vampire Weekend last album 'Contra' was released in 2010.
