Ep. 36 Modern Vampires of the City

“I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones.” In Episode 36, baby we are right on time! Kiara is reunited with her favourite English major and cardigan enthusiast, Kerri, to review Vampire Weekend’s critically acclaimed record, Modern Vampires of the City (2013) – with beer sponsored by Amsterdam Brewing Co.! In this episode we get a little more preppy discussing the evolution of these NYC boys and their stunning narrative regarding a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it foray into adulthood while feeling the impact of the always delicious, Boneshaker Unfiltered IPA. We praise front man Ezra Koenig’s purposeful and insightful lyricism disguised in catchy indie-pop bops, and Kerri brilliantly ties his references to the likes of Arthur Miller while questioning his views on the Oxford Comma. And while this is an album caked in religious skepticism, cautionary tales to reckless youth, and the preciousness of time, we counteract every existential crisis with comparisons to Britney Spears, our thoughts on Greased Lightning, and why we’re attracted to Timothée Chalamet’s anarchist/baller lifestyle.
