Vampire Weekend - Finger Back

Finger Back by Vampire Weekend Song Info

“Finger Back” is about an Orthodox Jewish girl falling in love with an Arab falafel shop employee, as indicated in the bridge. In this interview with Face Culture, Ezra Koenig discusses his relationship with his mother, a couples therapist. She likes to read his lyrics and interpret them in advance. The following analysis of “Finger Back” (like at left, not in the video) incorporates some rudimentary psychoanalytic commentary. Rostam Batmanglij, the band’s multi-instrumentalist and producer, has said he liked to trick listeners into depressing songs with major keys. This has a grating rhythm perhaps meant to evoke reggaeton, a la that alluded to on “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” with baroque and electronic flourishes. Some listeners compare it to Animal Collective, for the electronic whatever and perhaps for the “owwwww” vocal jumps that sound like Noah Lennox (Panda Bear) trying to imitate a Beach Boy. The finger back could be getting the broken finger described in the song back, or coquettishly curling back the finger at the attacker to urge the action on, or pulling back the trigger to a gun.

- Perfection.

This album has everything. From upbeat melodies (Diane Young & Finger Back) to ghostly nostalgic sounds (Hannah Hunt.) Yes, this album is a tad different than Contra & Vampire Weekend but it shows how they've evolved and matured. Just like we change from our teenage years to adult years, they're doing the same. It's a great buy. Hannah Hunt is perfection, btw.

- :)

wow I wish I had money to buy this! I NEED IT NOW :(

- Messed up

I liked there other albums so much better :/

- Amazing

This album is hypnotizing and amazing its insane. I love this band and will continue to:D

- Weird

Listening to this album will take u to another Level. I think that I'm high when I'm listening to this album.... Fantastic

- It Grows On You

I always loved Vampire Weekend and when I got this album I was disappointed. But after a couple listens I fell in love with the album, it is genius!!!

- ED97

This is real music

- Don't Lie...

...Is amazing. Not sure how that song isn't the single. Great overall, big fan.

- Nice.

I'm going to be honest, I wasn't totally blown away by this album the first time I listened. But it kinda grew on me, the sound, the lyrics, the depth of it all. You can tell Ezra is really improving in his songwriting approach as well as musicality. There's a more ethereal vibe here that just sweeps over you and takes you away. Far out, mang.

- Great album

One of the best albums of 2013 and perhaps their best yet. They grew up but also evolved as musicians

- Not Bad

I like a few songs like Step. Other songs are just bizarre and spastic.

- Pretentious as always

First the positive. Unbelievers is a truly great song. Every one of their albums has one or two really good and breezy songs. Perfect for the summer. Unbelievers and a handful of other songs are more relatable than most of what they do. It's exciting when they write lyrics that that don't try to be Nietche on ecstasy. They manage to reign it in a bit for a couple of songs and get actually less loopy. That's why every one of their albums is worth checking out - to find the few gems. This is definitely a pick and choose kind of band. Never a good idea to purchase a whole album. Vampire Weekend are useful for their less weird and summery songs, NOT for their pretense. Maybe their ego's get what they need from getting all those psuedo-intellecutals to rub their chins and pat themselves on the backs for making connections in their lyrics. Pretentious, not witty and fresh. When you have true talent, you don't need to use so many noises and fake sounds and dress up your lyrics with esoteric allusions. Yeah weird can be cool sometimes, but weirdness is never cool when it's this intentional. When listening to their stuff I'm in a constant state of "what's the point?" "What are they getting at?" It's a Rubik's cube that i just don't care to piece together. This is all pretty meaningless. It's like Paul Simon with brain damage. The problem is, we don't need any derivation of Paul Simon in the music world.

- Very nice

I was pleasantly surprised with this album go go vampire weekend !!!

- Genius.

Many people will just listen to the 30 second previews and regard the album as "boring" or "not the same". I admit, I wasn't a huge fan of the album with my first listen. But the more you listen, the more you realize that their sound has evolved and that the songs don't have have upbeat summer-sounding melodies to be amazing.

- Absolutely amazing

Once again I am impressed by this amazing band. Their lyrics have a very smooth and easy tone that makes it easy to just get lost in each song.This will forever and alway be one of my favorite albums in my iTunes library. THANK YOU VW!

- In my top 25 albums of all time!

Every time I listen to this album it gets better and it was awesome the first time. You can't go wrong with this one.

- GREAT

Great music with lots of cool instruments. Get it.

- Right awn ti-ti-time-time.

BAYBUH BAYBUH BAYBUH BAYBUH BERBAH BERBAH BAYBAH BYAYBA BABYBUH…..WILL BE STUCK IN YOUR CABEZA FOREVER. You have been warned.

- Awesome

👏👏👏👏👏

- absolutely amazing

this album soars. "hannah hunt," "step," and "ya hey" are my personal favorites, but every song is completely fantastic. they truly explore another plane of existence on "hudson." this album is definitely different than the other two, but it still feels like vampire weekend. one of the best albums of the year, by far.

- Wonderful Album

I've been on the fence about Vampire Weekend in the past, liking some of their songs, and disliking others. But this is their most complete album yet. It has some songs that are very accessible for those who aren't currently fans, and some songs are more complicated. So far, the best album of 2013.

- Great!

Mvotc has a new approach to it, but is still a masterpiece. Vampire Weekend has outdone themselves yet again! (;

- They are back!

The Vampires are back again with their best record yet. Full of amazing 12 tracks that will keep you entertained. A true masterpiece. I will never get bored of listening to it.

- Perfect Album

Worth the wait.

- This made me sad :(

This album made me so sad, I was totally looking forward to it. I give it three stars for lyrics but their sound is totally different and I'm missing their chill vibes. I still love this band and I'm looking forward to their next album though :)

- vp

This is honestly the best thing since oxygen.

- Brilliant Album

Another Brilliant Album for the same bad, always consistent!

- awesome

this album is amazing, but doesn't really have as much replay value as their previous projects. love the experimentation though.

- Best Album of 2013 (so far)

Modern Vampires of the City is admittedly different and darker than the band's earlier works. At first, I found myself missing the old Vampire Weekend. The album grew on me though as I began to appreciate the maturation of their music. "Everlasting Arms" is a great middle ground for those missing the old sound but willing to explore their new style.

- Album Of The Year

Been a fan of VW since 2011, enjoying their first two albums while awaiting this one. It does not disappoint. This is a big leap forward in their discography, every song is crafted flawlessly and the lyrics are some of their best to date. A must buy.

- Gold

Best album yet.

- Vampire weekend

I luv vampire weekend but I especially LUV EZRA KOENIG someday I hope to meet them in person

- genius

Vampire Weekend is genius...Nuff said...

- Amazing

I've always loved vampire weekend and they impress me more and more with each new release.

- Love it!

So good!! Definite buy.

- Very Good

I fell in love with the sound that Vampire Weekend established on their first album, but I also admired the evolution of their sound in Contra, and now in their latest effort as well. I've always enjoyed the imagery of their lyrics, and the cheerfulness of the music. This album delivers on all the qualities that you would expect from a Vampire Weekend album; it deals with more serious topics and sounds, but there is still a sense of rebellion and playfulness.

- AMAZING

catchy songs, love their album covers too:)

- Um...

I was disappointed by this album, I miss the old vampire weekend! The only song that reminds me of their previous albums was "finger back" I thought this album was going to be more fast paced and fun but instead it turned out slow and sad

- Flawless

Every song is so good! I can't stop listening to this album, 3 months later and it still doesn't get old. One of my all time favorite groups. Each album just gets better and better.

- VW IS BACK!

I bought this May, but I felt like rating it. It's a true masterpiece! It's not as upbeat (some songs are), but It lets me express art and happy

- THEY NEED MORE SONGS LIKE A-PUNK

This album isnt very catchy to me

- The best!

I love Vampire Weekend! Besides having one of the most original and unique sounds ever, they're songs just have so much emotion and meaning to them. This album is so amazing! Words can't describe how much I love it! My favorite songs are definitely Unbelievers, Hannah Hunt, Ya Hey, Step, Everlasting Arms, Diane Young and Obvious Bicycle.

- Amazing

I cannot stop listening to the masterpiece. Good show!

- MY BABIES

i listen to all of their albums and im a huge fan but this is by far my favorite record they have put out. i love how there's softer, slower songs and songs that make you want to run a mile around your high schools track. they're great dudes and they make great music

- An amazing album

Have been a real big vampire weekend fan and was really pumped for the new album. Kind of a different sound then their previous albums, but just as amazing. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. Amazing.

- eh.

really not that great. ill listen some more, but am kinda of disappointed in this one. but I'm gonna definitely give it some more plays because i want it to be great like everything else have heard from them

- Amazing

This album is golden!

- In love

I'm absolutely in love with this album, Diane Young is such a fun song as well as Unbelievers. Hannah Hunt is probably my favorite track on the album it's absolutely beautiful. Other favorites are Don't Lie, Step and Obvious Bicycle.

- Nice Melodies

It took a few listens to really grab me, but this is definitely better than Contra and not as good as the first album. They have really grown with respect to their songwriting. These are some of their best melodies to date. They often play in my head while I'm out running. The only bad thing is that it is lacking in guitar work and the more complex beats from their past. Many songs are just a keyboard or a simple beat under Ezra's singing. Sometimes this works nicely because the melodies are really good, but sometimes you miss the instrumentation. It's still a great album, though.

- Unbelievable

I didn't think that they could get any better and they just keep blowing everyone away. What a great band! Thanks for the music guys.

- Unbelievable.

Saw these guys most recently live in a small venue after the release of Contra; indisputably the most intoxicating, upbeat (not to mention my favourite) music, of all time. Can. Not. Wait.

- Love!

I love everything about vampire weekend, step, Diane young and ya hey are the only songs I've heard from this album but I'm sooo excited for the album to come out!

- OMG

can't wait

- Excellent!

Wow, this an awesome album by Vampire Weekend, definitely their most accomplished work yet, and very self-assured with a unique distinctive style that really, really works :)

- Perfection 😱❤

It came out 53 minutes ago in England and I bought it on the dot! Every song is perfect and I'm just speachless! You're a fool if you don't buy this tbh

- this is the best album in the entire world.

the best album i have ever heard and by the best band in the entire world.

- This Album...

Vampire Weekend and Contra are two of my favourite albums ever. Hope this is as good, and please bring the tour to Liverpool, UK.

- ❤❤❤❤

Omg I love this album so much!!!! Been waiting ages for it to be released 😝❤

- Superb

Listened to it a few times now and I absolutely love it. Its a change from their first two albums, much darker not as sunny and springy in sound. IMO Ezra should go down as one of the finest lyricists of this generation, his lyrics are just so so good. Recommend it to anyone who enjoyed their other stuff.

- Brilliant from start to finish!

A big step up artistically from the previous two albums, which are both brilliant anyway! The singles and tracks released already are still stand out songs, but so are the opening two songs, Obivous Bicycle and Unbelievers, as well as the outré Young Lion! Well worth the wait and well worth getting!

- Low selfie esteem

Ezra Koenig is literally a genius! This is definitely the least preppy album that they have released so far, yet still recognisable as VW. It is great.

- Wow

I've been waiting a long time for this and it's amazing. Definitely some of the best songs I've heard in years! Even better live!

- Amazing

I have loved Vampire Weekend for so long! Love the songs that I've heard from this album so far :) this band makes me so happy And yeah, I agree they need to come to Liverpool :)

- 'Step' is brilliant

The three songs I've heard so far are amazing and I cannot wait. Still by far my favourite band ever!

- Instant Purchase

These are beautiful songs, by an exceptionally talented band. Don't only buy this, but check out their other albums too!

- Brilliant but where's a bonus album?!

Love the new songs, i was going to preorder this but i was waiting just incase they brought out a bonus album! But anyway brilliant album, Diane Young and Step are pretty good. Have the album on loop while revising!

- Slow

Love the first album, and disappointed with this. Most tracks are so slow makes the Beach Boys seem up tempo. Didn't want to not like this, because the band are different and not enough of that, but from up beat exciting songs to, well, dirge.

- Skellycopter

I am currently streaming their album and every song is amazing!! unbelievers especially!!
