Only God Was Above Us is the fifth studio album by Vampire Weekend. It's a musical masterpiece inspired by the band's birthplace, New York City, with recording sessions spanning the globe from New York to Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo. Produced by Ezra Koenig and longtime collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid, the album title is taken directly from the album artwork, a 1988 photo from a New Jersey Subway graveyard by Steven Siegel.
This album explores universal themes like the urge to question our world and the search for peace through acceptance. It's both straightforward and complex, as beautiful and melodic as any of the band's releases, yet with a gritty edge.
