Only God Was Above Us is the fifth studio album by Vampire Weekend. This album is deeply inspired by the band's birthplace, New York City, despite being recorded globally, from New York to Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. Produced by Ezra Koenig and long - time collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid, the album title comes directly from a 1988 photo by Steven Siegel, taken at a Subway graveyard in New Jersey. The album explores universal themes like questioning our world and seeking peace through acceptance. It's both direct and complex, as beautiful and melodic as ever, yet gritty at times. Tracklisting includes Ice Cream Piano, Classical, Capricorn, and more.
Using this vinyl is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid getting dirt or oils on it. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. If it gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently clean the grooves. Always handle the vinyl by the edges to avoid scratching the playing surface.
