In June 2013, Vampire Weekend was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album 'Modern Vampires of the City,' which had been released just a month earlier. This record marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing richer instrumentation and deeper lyrical content than their earlier works.
