Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us / The album was "inspired and haunted by 20th Century New York City" and recorded in such far-flung locales as Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, and Manhattan. The album was co-produced by VW's Ezra Koenig and regular collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid, mixed by Dave Fridmann, and mastered by Emily Lazar. / The album title comes from the photo on the album cover by Steven Siegel, and other photos from his "Subway Dream" series documenting a Jersey City junkyard in the late-'80s.

Lily O. ★★★★★

The mix of recording locations really comes through in the soundstage—each track feels like it’s pulling from a different city’s energy. The gatefold sleeve has a nice matte finish too.

Adam E. ★★★★★

The 180-gram pressing captures the dense, layered production beautifully, especially the way the NYC-inspired textures bleed between tracks. Recorded across Tokyo, London, and LA, you can hear that global scope in the mix, though it never loses its cohesive late-20th-century mood.

Madison T. ★★★★★

Crackling right out of the shrink wrap, the vinyl sounds incredibly warm and clear—especially on the track "Connect." The gatefold sleeve is thick and has a nice matte finish, which makes the artwork pop. I've been spinning it nonstop since it arrived.
