Vampire Weekend Premiere Two More New Songs, ‘Unbearably White’ and ‘This Life’ – Listen

The lead-up to the release of Vampire Weekend‘s new album, Father of the Bride, has been busy — and on Thursday the indie/pop outfit premiered two more songs off the record, which will be out on May 3.

Here’s the jangly “This Life”:

And “Unbearably White”:

These are the fourth and fifth songs premiered thus far from the album, coming after “Harmony Hall,” “Sunflower” and “Big Blue” — as Vampire Weekend clearly wants to put the bug of new music in folks’ ears ahead of the album’s street date.

These are the final songs scheduled for release ahead of May 3, though. So if you’re eager to hear more new Vampire Weekend, you’ll have to check out the record once it’s released.
