Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij shared a new song titled 'Upper West Side, 1982' which is from his score for This Is Our Youth. A play directed by Kenneth Lonergan starring Michael Cera, Tavi Gevinson, and Kieran Culkin.
This Is Our Youth opens on Broadway Today running through January 4th, 2015. Rostam provided a statement about the music...
"Dennis Ziegler, 21 years old Warren Straub, 19 years old Jessica Goldman, 19 years old The play takes place in Dennis's one-room apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The time is late March, 1982." ...reads the first page of Kenneth Lonergan's script for This Is Our Youth. As soon as I read it I thought about myself at that age, I had just moved to upper Manhattan to go to school. A bunch of my time in that period of my life was spent studying piano, and the piano's this instrument you can find in apartment buildings throughout New York. So it was important for me to write something that could realistically be heard coming down the hall— maybe from an apartment next door to Dennis's. And it was also important to me that there be a bit of the feeling that a person has maybe come home late at night, in a somewhat altered state, and they sit down at a piano and this is what comes out of them and it's never existed before."
