Madison Bloom

Vampire Weekend have won Best Alternative Music Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards. Their fourth studio album, Father of the Bride, beat out LPs by James Blake (Assume Form), Big Thief (U.F.O.F.), Bon Iver (i,i), and Thom Yorke (ANIMA).

Ezra Koenig delivered his acceptance speech accompanied by his bandmates and collaborators: “Thank you. That’s it. Really. And everyone else that’s not with us. Look at this crew. Look at this crew of people.”

Vampire Weekend’s previous record, Modern Vampires of the City, also won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. The band is up for Album of the Year this year, too.
