Vampire Weekend debuted multiple new songs from LP4 at the Metro in Chicago (August 5th) - 4 ½ via aux cord from Ezra’s phone & 1 live performance. One of the songs is titled ‘Big Blue’.

Ezra mentioned that they haven’t mastered the album yet (as of this show)  and that “they have a big amount of material with many different versions that they are sorting through”.

Some lyrics from the new Vampire Weekend songs that they played at the Metro:

• ”We took a vow in summertime // Now we find ourselves in late December”
• reappearance of the line, “I don’t wanna live like this, but I don’t wanna die” from ‘Finger Back’
• “Boy when we were 21″
• “When will I sink to the bottom of the ocean”
• “2021 do you think about us”

The whole show was almost 3 hours long and the band handed out $2 bills to people in the crowd after their set.
