Vampire Weekend has put forth the official video for "Diane Young." Available now on YouTube, the video comes in fast on the heels of their newest album, Modern Vampires of the City, which debuted at #1 on Billboard 200. Check it out below!

Directed by Primo Kahn, "Diane Young" is a veritable who's-who of indie notables with cameos from the likes of The Walkmen's Hamilton Leithauser, Sky Ferreira, Chromeo, Santigold, Dirty Projectors' Dave Longstreth, and Despot, among others.

The band continues to find success with their second straight #1 album, with Modern Vampires of the City selling nearly 135,000 units in its first week. The record has generated vast excitement and immediate critical acclaim, including a stellar return to to Saturday Night Live, a 4.5 star Rolling Stone lead review and a 9.3 rating from Pitchfork.

Today also marks the band's first Top 10 radio single in the United States with "Diane Young." The single moves from #12 to #9 on the Mediabase Modern Rock Chart.
