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, and you can watch it below.
