You want ideas? Vampire weekend have ideas. They've also got wit, imagination, an eye for lyrical detail and an ear for musical adventure. Most importantly Vampire Weekend have tunes. Oh yes, they've got tunes. Dealing in genres the band have dubbed Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa and Upper West Side Soweto, Vampire Weekend is a breath of fresh air, both musically and lyrically, with this New York band endeavouring to make music that is anything but straight ahead rock. Straight ahead? As if. This is indie-rock that isn't indie-rock, a joyously exuberant carnival of melody and rhythm, strings, organs, afro-funk guitars, courtly 18th century harpsichord, and a bit of post-punk.CD available here.

Notes
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 Magazine.

As heard on the Jimmy Fallon show- Vampire Weekend
Wow! Heard this young British group just recently on Jimmy Fallon- their second time on his show. They have released their new album Contra. Wanted to get the 2008 album which is this one and yes I have also ordered Contra. They have a mixed influence of reggae, Celtic, Flock of Seagulls, rock, African and a whole range of instrumentation that will keep your dancing feet a'tappin. Guaranteed! But they are not copy- they have a very original sound. Fun, energetic and unique. Love the blends of violin, viola, chamberlin, organ, harpsichord, etc. etc. with guitar, drums and bass. Going on a road trip? Take this album with you- better than caffeine....LOL

Vampire Weekend CD
Incredible album, briliant put together. Great sounds an unexpected treat. Has a rock/Punk feel blends with African drums and Beats, Best described as David Bryne and Paul Simon meet Green Day with a bit of Blur tossed in to the mix. Easliy in my book album of the year for 2008. Looking forward to more releases.
