During the six years between Modern Vampires of the City and Father of the Bride, things that seemed essential to Vampire Weekend changed drastically. Founding member Rostam Batmanglij left to pursue his solo career, while Ezra Koenig left the East Coast to settle in Los Angeles. These shifts in lineup and location are just a few of the changes Vampire Weekend take in stride on their fourth album. After reaching peak musical and lyrical density on Modern Vampires of the City, they're reborn with a West Coast perspective and pace on Father of the Bride, giving all 18 of its songs more room for their novelistic detail and surprising juxtapositions. It's easier to hear and feel where the band is coming from, in large part because Koenig's songwriting is clearer than ever. Falling in love with Kacey Musgraves' music inspired him to emphasize his characters' emotional histories, and even on a highly structured song like "Unbearably White," the sorrow of an impending breakup has more impact than the clever wordplay. The band makes the most of Musgraves' influence on their duets with Danielle Haim, whose supple vocals add richness to "Hold You Now" and the bubbling electro-country of "Married in a Gold Rush," a tale of a hurried relationship that deepens with each verse. Along with Haim, Vampire Weekend worked with collaborators both familiar -- at this point, Ariel Rechtshaid is an honorary member of the band -- and new. One of their most exciting partnerships is with the Internet's Steve Lacy, who contributes to the brilliant psych-soul of "Sunflower." Elsewhere, Vampire Weekend's musical allusions are equally audacious; like California itself, their fusion of country, electro, folk, R&B, and pop is equally rustic and plastic. "Sympathy"'s charging riffs owe as much to flamenco as they do to the Doobie Brothers' "Long Train Runnin'"; just a few songs later, the band samples Haruomi Hosono's ambient electronic track "Watering a Flower" on "2021." These wide-ranging sounds reflect the ambiguity that Vampire Weekend skillfully uses to express the complexities of 21st century life. On the standout "This Life," the band pairs words full of existential doubt with music that snaps its fingers, and when Koenig borrows the line "I don't wanna live like this, but I don't wanna die" from the Modern Vampires track "Finger Back" and sets it to gospel-tinged pop that evokes the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" on "Harmony Hall," it sounds strangely liberating. As the album comes to a close, the band offers a few moments of unmitigated joy. "Stranger" sings the praises of everyday life as a balm against the outside world; similarly,"We Belong Together" serves as a cozy reminder that as difficult as they can be, relationships are one of the few sources of stability in an increasingly volatile world. More complex yet more direct than anything they've done before, Father of the Bride finds Vampire Weekend embracing change and delivering some of their most mature and satisfying music in the process. ~ Heather Phares

商品の紹介

グラミー受賞歴を誇るマルチ・ロック・バンド=ヴァンパイア・ウィークエンド6年振り通算4作目となるニュー・アルバム『Father of the Bride』

2006年のデビュー以来これまでに3枚のアルバムをリリースし、2作目と3作目でインディーズ・バンド史上初となる2作連続全米チャート初登場1位を記録した、グラミー受賞歴も誇るマルチ・ロック・バンド=ヴァンパイア・ウィークエンドが、6年振り通算4作目となるニュー・アルバム『ファーザー・オブ・ザ・ブライド』をリリース。また、今年1月に発表した6年振りの新曲「ハーモニー・ホール」「2021」に続く新曲「サンフラワー feat.スティーヴ・レイシー」「ビッグ・ブルー」の2曲が新たに配信された。新たにリリースされた2曲は、「ハーモニー・ホール」「2021」同様、フロントマン=エズラ・クーニグと、長年のコラボレーターであるアリエル・レヒトシェイドがプロデュース。「サンフラワー」は、先日の単独来日公演も大盛況だったメロウ・ソウル・バンド＜ジ・インターネット＞のギタリスト=スティーヴ・レイシーが参加しており、ヴォーカルとベースラインのユニゾン・メロディーが印象的な、彼ららしい軽快なリズムが際立つ楽曲となっている。一方で「ビッグ・ブルー」は、アコースティック・サウンドをベースとした2分弱のメロウな楽曲となっており、エズラ、アリエルに加え、ケンドリック・ラマーやドレイクを手掛けるヒップホップ・プロデューサー=DJダヒがプロデュースを担当している。2014年にサード・アルバム『モダン・ヴァンパイアズ・オブ・ザ・シティ』のツアーを終えてから長らく沈黙を守っていたヴァンパイア・ウィークエンド。昨年FUJI ROCK FESTIVALのグリーン・ステージに出演し、いよいよ新作リリース間近かとファンの期待値が高まっていた矢先での待望の新作リリースとなる。1月に先行リリースした「ハーモニー・ホール」は、これまでのヴァンパイア・ウィークエンドの世界観を踏襲した、幸福感溢れる爽やかな楽曲。俳優のジョナ・ヒルや、3姉妹バンド＜ハイム＞のメンバー=ダニエル・ハイムなどがカメオ出演しているミュージック・ビデオも話題となった。また、同時にリリースされた「2021」は、細野晴臣が1980年代に制作した楽曲「Talking」のサンプリングを使用していることでも国内外で注目を集めた。

Spin - "FATHER OF THE BRIDE is more personal and inward looking than any of their previous three..." Rolling Stone - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[Koenig] has stuffed his hooks and bridges with so many change-ups in rhythm, guitar tone and dramatic instrumental flourish that, by the finish, you feel like you've been whipped through a modern-pop homage to the Beatles' ABBEY ROAD medley -- twice over." Clash - "'Rich Man' sees Koenig croon romantically over some lush strings and a repeated lo-fi melody to gorgeous effect..." NME - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The first album in nearly six-years is a key reinvention for the indie stalwarts, with a looseness and funkiness that proves, thankfully, they've not overthought the comeback." Pitchfork - "Vampire Weekend return with a shaggy, sprawling double album all about rebirth, contentment, and the reclamation of light." Billboard - "[L]ooser, lighter, less urgent. It is also more jammy than anything the band has put forth before, but this is not a Phish record; rather, the group used the extra space as room to wander and explore with purpose." Paste - "Ezra Koenig expertly spins even the shabbiest couplets into nuance -- and he does it to the tune of pure sunshine." Entertainment Weekly - "Frontman Ezra Koenig explores mortality and new fatherhood in ways both melancholy and serene..." Uncut - "[I]t's every bit as immediate and listenable as it is confident, and more buoyant overall than the sombre MODERN VAMPIRES..."

Rovi

USロック・シーンを代表するバンドのニュー・アルバム。ロスタム・バトマングリの脱退という変化はあったが、持ち前のアフロ・ポップを基調とする多彩な音楽性は健在だ。ダンサブルな"Sympathy"ではフラメンコを採り入れ、"My Mistake"はスクリューの匂いを漂わせたりと、カラフルな音色でリスナーを楽しませてくれる。ドナルド・トランプ以降のアメリカに対する怒りも窺える"Harmony Hall"といった、プロテスト色の濃い曲も際立つ。そこに込められた政治的/社会的要素は個人の視点から紡がれているため、親しみやすい。そうした視点でありながらジャケットに地球を用いる素朴さは、良くも悪くも〈世界の警察〉を演じてきたアメリカのバンドであることを滲ませる。

Father of the Bride｜CDアルバム
2019年リリースの4作目。今までのようなアフリカン・ビートにトロピカルなワクワクでガチャガチャなポップさから、少しシンプルに、少しゆったりへと変化を感じる。が、これがめちゃくちゃ良い。言うまでもありませんが、メロディは超ポップ。聴いていて気持ちが晴れていくような気分になります。シンプルで、穏やかで、温かい、熟練のポップロックアルバム。

Father of the Bride｜CDアルバム
前作から実に6年ぶり。もう新作は聴けないのかな？と思っていたファンも多いはず…これは夢なの？夢じゃない！！ポップでキャッチーなロックサウンドはそのままに、フォーキーで優しく繊細な楽曲から古き良きアメリカの風も感じられる曲まで…アフロっぽさは控えめに、とはいえ心くすぐる多幸感、カラフルな高揚感は健在。HaimのDanielleやThe InternetのSteve Lacyも参加！

ファーザー・オブ・ザ・ブライド｜CDアルバム
期待と不安と興奮をおさえながら聴いた6年ぶりのALBUMは、私の想像を遥かに超えた大傑作でした。聴いているといつの間にか幸せな気分になれちゃう。押し付けがましさは一切ないけど、自然と人々を励まし、前向きな気持ちにしてくれる不思議な作品。とくに細野晴臣の84年のアンビエントナンバーがサンプリングされた「2021」は必聴。
