Vampire Weekend Give Upbeat History Lesson About Cruelty Through the Ages on New Song ‘Classical’

Vampire Weekend have released a new song, "Classical," off their upcoming album 'Only God Was Above Us.'

The treatment looks greasy as the group sings the song, their image superimposed over classical paintings and street scenes from Europe. The band will hit the road in support of the album next month with a special gig in Austin on April 8, timed to a solar eclipse. After a couple of festival appearances, they’ll launch a lengthy North American tour with plenty of dates scheduled to run into October.
