Description
Vinyl Records London are on cloud nine, we are now spinning in a brand new copy in Double Vinyl from Vampire Weekend Only God Was Above Usis the fifth studio album from Vampire Weekend. The album is inspired by and infused with the essence of the bands birthplace of New York City, though recorded all over the world, from New York to Los Angeles to London and Tokyo. The album was produced by Ezra Koenig, and longtime collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid. The album title is lifted directly from the album artwork, which is a photo taken from a Subway graveyard in New Jersey in 1988 by photographer Steven Siegel.Only God Was Above Usincludes universal themes ranging from the urge to question the world in which we live, and the quest for peace that can only be found through acceptance. The album is equal parts as direct yet complex as anything the band has ever released, as beautiful and melodic as theyve ever sounded but also at their grittiest.
