Harmony Hall / 2021

Along with the track “2021”, “Harmony Hall” is the first single released from Vampire Weekend’s 4th studio releas Father of the Bride, their first since 2013.
The song breezes along with an infectious energy, with the lyrics interpolating a line from their 2013 song, “Finger Back,” off of their previous album Modern Vampires of the City.
Lyrically, the song is most probably named after the building of the same name situated at Ezra Koenig’s Alma Mater of Columbia University, however Harmony Hall is a pretty common toponym.
The song seems to be about the change of impressions over time, possibly related to the spread of hate groups within high-class American universities.
