Although Vampire Weekend<\/a> recently released a new single called \u201cSunflower,\u201d the New York group elected to perform a cover of Post Malone<\/a>\u2019s track of the same name during their BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge session. This low-key version transforms Post Malone\u2019s pop-ready number<\/a> into a vibe-y indie rock tune, stripping back the synth beats in favor of sparse piano chords.<\/p>\n

Post Malone\u2019s single, which appeared on the soundtrack for Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse<\/em>, featured Swae Lee and was penned specifically for the animated Marvel film. The song topped the charts<\/a> after the movie was released in theaters.<\/p>\n

Vampire Weekend has been preparing to release<\/a> their fourth album, Father of the Bride, <\/em>which drops May 3. During their BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge session<\/a> the band also performed \u201cHarmony Hall,\u201d a track off the upcoming album. Ezra Koenig previously told Rolling<\/em> Stone<\/em><\/a> he had a moment of panic when he realized there was already a single called \u201cSunflower,\u201d thinking, \u201c\u2018God, we have to get this out!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Koenig said of the new music, \u201cOn our first album, most of the songs were written in college, and it had a very youthful vibe. On the second and third records, the wide-eyed enthusiasm dimmed considerably. You see more of the world, and you\u2019re more and more disheartened. But that trajectory can\u2019t go on forever. After you make the black-and-white album cover with the songs about death, you can\u2019t go deeper. This is the life-goes-on record.\u201d<\/p>\n
