Huw has an in-depth chat with the Vampire Weekend frontman as they release their first new music in five years, ahead of the upcoming album Only God Was Above Us released in April.

Work on the album stretch back as far as 2019, and the album was recorded all over the world - including New York, LA, London and Tokyo. The title is lifted directly from the album artwork, comprised of photos taken from a subway graveyard in New Jersey in 1988 by Steven Siegel. It will be the band's fifth studio album, following Vampire Weekend (2008), Contra (2010), Modern Vampires Of The City (2013 and Father Of The Bride (2019). Ahead of the album the band have released two new singles; Capricorn and Gen-X Cops.

Plus we're joined by Daniel Green for another edition of 6 Musicology, getting under the hood of how the music we love is written. And a listener takes on The Music Quiz Generator - but what quiz will they play today?
