Track of the Vampire Weekend #32: “Step”
A gigantic week for Whyd is coming to a close after our new Discover section launched on Monday, TechCrunch wrote about it, and new King of the World Whyd Ranking Alan Henry wrote a great piece about us on Lifehacker that came out last night. It’s been hectic, sleep-deprived, and one of the most invigorating times of our lives. A big welcome to everyone new! Fitting then that the track which spent the week among the top of the Hot Tracks is the calming, worldly, and dreamy sounds of a new Vampire Weekend single that signals the coming of their new album, scheduled for release in early May.
“Step” is a hypnotic lullaby that is quiet enough to be missed if you don’t listen hard enough. Full of New York and Classic references that will please most lofty Vampire Weekend fans, it was first added to Whyd by Caracole and then propelled to the epic heights of the Hot Tracks by one of Whyd’s most faithful and dedicated music lovers: Aline. It is exactly the track we need to repose into the weekend.
Follow Aline and Caracole on Whyd, and please, never stop jamming!
