“A band pushing past their boundaries with striking results” — THE GUARDIAN
“Quite possibly their magnum opus… One of rock’s most thoughtful songwriters has given us much to unpack. At 18 tracks, Father Of The Bride is both dense and sprawling, rich with ideas and Easter eggs and dazzling musical flourishes… not a second feels wasted.” — STEREOGUM
“The music scintillates” — Q MAGAZINE
“Vampire Weekend Have Gone and Made Another Masterpiece” - ESQUIRE

“Joyous” — THE TELEGRAPH
“The album proves that they're still better than most, if not all, of the other artists of that era... More important, the band has a genius-level songwriter in Koenig” — USA TODAY
“An exceptional release… packed with exquisitely rendered miniatures that are immediately engaging but which, dense with layers and allusions, will almost certainly mean even more in the long run.” — HE WALL STREET JOURNAL
“A joyous, fearless listen” – DIY MAGAZINE
“An evolution bordering on a revolution” – DORK
