It's here. Vampire Weekend's long-awaited album Father of the Bride has been released.

The 18-track project arrived Friday via Columbia Records, the Ezra Koenig-fronted outfit's first on the Sony label. It features contributions from the likes of former member Rostam, HAIM's Danielle Haim, iLoveMakonnen, The Internet's Steve Lacy and others.

As we previously mentioned, Vampire Weekend will also be going on tour this spring in support of the new album.
