Father of the Bride is the fourth studio album by American indie rock band Vampire Weekend, released on May 3, 2019, by Columbia Records. This marked their first album on a major label and their first release in nearly six years, following Modern Vampires of the City (2013), as well as their first project since multi-instrumentalist and producer Rostam Batmanglij's departure. The album was primarily produced by Ariel Rechtshaid and lead singer Ezra Koenig, featuring collaborations with Danielle Haim, Steve Lacy, Dave Macklovitch of Chromeo, DJ Dahi, Sam Gendel, BloodPop, and Batmanglij. Musically diverse, the pop and indie rock album contrasts heavy lyrics with a bright, springtime sound, drawing influences from country music and jam bands.
