They started the decade as polarizing indie-rock upstarts, who had put out their second album Contra in January 2010. They ended the decade by gaining the respect of the industry, and getting nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys for their fourth album Father of the Bride. What made this happen? Ben will spotlight the three albums Vampire Weekend released in the 2010's, discuss the history of the band (including Rostam leaving), and also discuss what happened in this decade to make them Ben's favourite band.
