Vampire Weekend – “Diane Young” Video (Feat. A Whole Bunch Of People)

Vampire Weekend already got plenty of attention for “Diane Young,” the frantic first single from their truly great new album Modern Vampires Of The City, when they burned a couple of Saabs in the lyric video. And now they’ve made a proper video for the song, setting it at an anarchic dinner party and filling it with indie-universe celebrities in cameo appearances. The party’s guest list includes Santigold, Sky Ferreira, both members of Chromeo, Dirty Projector Dave Longstreth, Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser, Despot, and quite possibly a couple of others I didn’t catch, as well as a mysterious ski-mask-clad figure. Primo Khan directs, extending Vampire Weekend’s unbroken streak of fun, energetic music videos.
