Vampire_Weekend_2013_LP3

If the big bold text that greets you upon visiting their website is anything to go by, it appears that indie pop darlings Vampire Weekend have completed their much anticipated third LP, their first since 2010’s Contra. The yet-unnamed album will be out May 7th (May 6th in the UK) on XL Recordings. This news is certainly exciting for us at BPM, as Vampy Weeks was recently featured on Our Most Anticipated Albums of 2013.

Until a single is released from the forthcoming record, celebrate the news with the band’s still-great clip for Contra highlight “Cousins”:
