Live Review: LISTEN: Vampire Weekend 'Ya Hey'
VAMPIRE WEEKEND have adopted an interesting way of posting videos for their new tracks recently, here's a very cool lyric video for 'Ya Hey'
VAMPIRE WEEKEND have adopted an interesting way of posting videos for their new tracks recently. If you all remember their video for ‘Diane Young’, the video was of a burning car. The track of course was catchy and poppy, really what we’ve come to love from VAMPIRE WEEKEND but the video, interesting, simple, with a burning car.
The Brooklyn boys have now released a video for their second single taken from their album Modern Vampires Of The City ‘Ya Hey’. This video yet again is fairly simple. There are people in sheets opening champagne bottles and throwing the froth everywhere, in slow motion. I have a feeling that these new videos that the boys have been putting out have some sort of an arty edge, or are supposed to anyway. There’s probably some meaning for it, but I just can’t put my finger on it. It’s pretty though.
‘Ya Hey’ itself is a lovely track and I love listening to it. It’s handy having a lyrical video because that means we can all learn the lyrics a lot quicker and sing a long next time they come to Australia!

Modern Vampires of The City comes out on May 14 or 15 depending on your country, and by the looks of things, more interestingly arty videos will accompany their brilliant tracks for us to enjoy and try to get some sort of meaning from.
