In October 2013, during their performance at the Austin City Limits Festival, Vampire Weekend was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed third album, "Modern Vampires of the City." Released earlier that year, the album showcased a more mature sound and lyrical depth compared to their earlier albums, further solidifying their place in the indie rock scene. The band's performance at ACL featured tracks from this album, highlighting their growth as musicians and songwriters. Notably, "Modern Vampires of the City" won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album, marking a significant milestone in their career. This festival appearance came at a pivotal time for the band, as they were transitioning into broader recognition while maintaining their artistic identity, all of which contributed to their dynamic stage presence captured in this live recording.
