Vampire Weekend have teased a new offshoot project with an “imaginary backstory”.In a New York Times profile, the band revealed they had created an offshoot project with the remaining founding members Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio, and Chris Tomson. The project began during the summer of 2020, where the band would do weekly jams and recorded “hundreds of hours of music”.“The world had stopped working and a lot of what we normally do was just not being done,” Tomson said.
