From the first seconds of Vampire Weekend's new album, it's clear that something has changed. Ice Cream Piano starts with hiss, buzz, feedback and a hovering, distorted guitar note - the opposite of the clean pop tones that have been the band's hallmark.
With every album we have to push in two directions at once... Sometimes that means we have to be poppier and weirder. Maybe with this record, it's about both pushing into true maturity, in terms of worldview and attitude, but also pushing back further into playfulness.
