Vampire Weekend Meet Interesting Characters in “This Life” Video
The video was directed by Emmett Malloy.
Vampire Weekend shares the music video for “This Life,” a single from their recent album Father of the Bride. The visual — which is directed by Emmett Malloy — finds Ezra Koenig, Danielle Haim, and Ariel Rechtshaid in the California desert while encountering some colorful characters. “This Life” is the third record to get a music video, following “Sunflower” and “Harmony Hall,” which was also directed by Emmett Malloy.
Father of the Bride was released earlier this month and is their first project without Rostam Batmanglij. The new album is Vampire Weekend’s first full-length album since 2013’s Modern Vampires of the City. The album debuted at No. 1, making it their third No. 1 album.
The band will be hitting the road, both in the U.S. and international, throughout the year in support of the new album,
