Vampire Weekend (MP3)
This NY four-piece draw on their diverse backgrounds and interests, experimenting with African guitar music, the Western classical canon, hazy memories of Cape Cod summers, winters in upper Manhattan, and reggaeton. 'Equal parts shruggy New York indie strumming and groovy Afro-pop, Vampire Weekend's organ-and-drum runs highlight narratives about relationships, punctuation, and sometimes both' - Spin.

| Hard to get a handle on this album as it sounds nothing like its contemporaries in the world of indie. You could compare Vampire Weekend to Beirut, not in musical style, but in the use of folk and pop music from the world stage. This is a great album and for those of us old enough to remember, sounds oddly at parts like Paul Simon's "Graceland." | |
