Vampire Weekend

Vampire Weekend

Crystalline Afropop guitars meet Ivy League harpsichords. A bright, literate debut that defined the sound of 2008 indie with its Upper West Side Soweto charm.

April 2007 · XL Recordings

Find on Amazon

A bright, hyper-articulate burst of youthful energy that balances academic wit with genuine pop warmth.
