Their fifth studio album, and first in five years! It was inspired largely by various observations of New York City. “It’s a reminder that living is frequently messy, and you’ve got to learn to keep going. With Only God Was Above Us, Vampire Weekend have found the odd beauty inside that mess.” – Rolling Stone
