Vampire Weekend have dropped two more new songs: Check out “This Life” and “Unbearably White” below. “This Life” interpolates lyrics from “Tonight,” a track from iLoveMakonnen’s original self-titled EP. Ezra Koenig sings, “You’ve been cheatin’ on, cheatin’ on me/I’ve been cheatin’ on, cheatin’ on you.” The song, co-produced by Koenig and Ariel Rechtshaid, also features backing vocals from Danielle Haim, guitar from Jake Longstreth, and additional production from Chromeo’s Dave Macklovitch. (Tidal gives Mark Ronson a composer credit, too.) “Unbearably White” has additional production from BloodPop.
“This Life” and “Unbearably White” are the final two songs Vampire Weekend plan to share before they release Father of the Bride on May 3 (via Columbia). Before today, the band has released “Harmony Hall,” “2021,” “Sunflower,” and “Big Blue,” as well as videos for “Harmony Hall” and “Sunflower.”
