Vampire Weekend
September 4th, 2008
According to Vice, Vampire Weekend, is a "pussy, pussy band." Well, I maybe pretentious, but I'm not pretentious for the sake of being pretentious, and although Vampire Weekend may be a "pussy, pussy band," their ability to write melodic, poppy, catchy, unique, and upbeat music can hardly be matched by any band currently producing music. Get their latest album, and take a walk for a few miles, and you'll find yourself in one of those rare good moods that only music can evoke. For those that enjoy comparisons, I would tell you that Vampire Weekend is akin to what Simon and Garfunkel would have produced if they were in their early twenties, and living in the upper west side. This track, Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa, is from their self-titled debut. Enjoy.
