What a beautiful departure for Vampire Weekend. "Hannah Hunt" is a simple sleepy, sweetly-sang track that feels like a 3-minute movie about young love. Like all Vampire Weekend, it makes me feel like I'm breathing fresh air and feeling warm sun on my skin. But here I don't want to bop and dance. This particular song drags and searches and feels like what it's about, a young couple's wandering cross country road trip. The break in this song feels like a screaming fight turn storming out of a room turn sniffly hand-holding nap. That guitar warble meets piano feels like 1,000 heartbreaks.
When to play it: Lazy summer lie on the hammock while trying to re-evaluate your love life; tanning on a boat in a blue calm lake.
Side note: Other fantastic tracks include "Ya Hey," "Diane Young," and "Everlasting Arms."
