![]() ![]() Father of the Bride is a light-hearted album that doesn't take itself too seriously, but also shouldn't be underrated. Listening to this record is like glimpsing into a conflicted yet quaint life story. The narrative perspective drifts between lead singer Ezra Koenig (as the protagonist/husband) and featured artist Danielle Haim (as a wife figure) as they reflect on their past. Personally, I hate country music but this record creatively employs uncool country features to cast a subversive light on themes of nostalgia, love, marriage, whiteness and the church. Lyrically, Father of the Bride is folkloric. Vampire Weekend uses unpredictable melody lines, off-beat rhythms and a pick 'n' mix assortment of instrumentation to create fantastically detailed and distinct sounds that actually work. This album dances around the genres of folk, electronic, indie rock, psychedelic pop, funk, blues and alternative. Father of the Bride is a quirky, clever and playful album.

In this article, our writers share the best music of 2019. Pi Culture’s ‘Best of 2019’ series highlights the favourite things we’ve seen, heard and read this year. ![]()
