Vampire Weekend's latest album is a worth sequel to 20102s Contra, presenting songs that truly stand on the merits of their memorable writing and lush instrumentation. WATCH THE REVIEW

As SXSW 2013 came to end on Sunday, dotted by emerald wardrobes and the overwhelming scent of corned-beef and Guinness, NYC's Vampire Weekend rounded out their trio of shows for the week atop the Moody Theater stage. Serving as the opening act for the 39th Season of Austin City Limits and for many, the pièce de résistance, the quartet served up a short, yet tight set leaving many wishing for more. Follow the jump for the rest of the review... [...]

Offtapia has got in nice and early with a complimentary mash of Flume's "Ezra" and "Drop It Like It's Hot". It really brings out the smoothness of the acapella, compounding that super-chilled Flume vibe that you now know all the words to. •  OFFTAPIA [FB] •  DOWNLOAD | Flume x Snoop Dogg ft.

Ezra Furman & The Harpoons' latest album, Mysterious Power , readily puts on display the band's no-nonsense, simplistic brand of rock and roll. With new single "Doomed Love Affair", the group further develops their devastating efficiency. The track was culled from the same LA sessions that delivered  Mysterious Power ; it's a sweet, somber gem of blackened cynicism and undying romanticism all rolled into one. As a follow-up, the B-side "Penetrate" reflects the miserable state Furman was in while writing/recording the track: battling a cold, the song's nasally vocals sound frustrated and pained, but still [...]

Ezra Koenig is known as indie rock's most approachable 'front man', willing to interact with fans on twitter and with foreign fans thru his Orkut account. According to sources, he is also considering launching a vyou presence. It seems as though Ezra hosted an EXCLUSIVE live video chat. Vampire Weekend 's most dedicated fans crowded into this livechat and bombarded Koenig with deep, dark questions. Is Ezra being 'too accessible' 2 his fans? Does he look good, bb? Will he 'regret' this? Did u [...]

Dear End Hits friends and colleagues, It is with heavy heart to announce that our dear friend, longtime employee, and music editor Ezra Ace Caraeff is leaving the Mercury nest. As you may have heard, he's starting up a bar in North Portland called Old Gold , and while he would've loved to have kept working here… c'mon! Everybody knows THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. (Though we're sure you'll still be seeing some of his stellar writing popping up in the paper and on the blog from time to time.) All that being said, while we'll [...]

ROSTAM - Wood by ROSTAM Let's face it. Ezra Koenig has it all. Tons of alt bitches, entry-level alts with posters of him up in their rooms, and tons of entry-level alts tweeting at him every minute of the day. When a frontman has so much, you can't help but think there are some toxic vibes within the band. We've seen a similar scenario with Animal Collective . It is s0 0bvi that Panda Bear [...]

Was just looking for something to unwind to after a long weekend and get me excited for the upcoming week when I came across this oldie but a goodie. Never knew there was a video to this one from The Very Best and Vampire Weekend's frontman but I gotta say I'm pretty happy I came across it. Apparently Ezra Koenig dances just like me. So I got that going for me, which is nice... Warm Heart of Africa (feat. Ezra Koenig) - Warm [...]

Ezra Koenig is widely known as 'the hottest hunk in indie'. His keut looks attract any alt, and he can basically just point at girls in the crowd, then they come backstage 2 pleasure him and feed him alt grapes. Then he has them executed so that they never tell the story of 'What Really Happens in VIP.' All of these are rumors, so I'm just letting yall know what the insider vibes are. Anyways, he seems to have released a new hymn-wave mp3 that is all abt sending positive vibes [...]

Ladies, you'll pretend you dont know your boyfriends when beholding theses heroes.

YELLE, FRENCH HORN REBELLION ( Wonder Ballroom , 128 NE Russell) You don't have to be a beret-wearing, baguette-toting Francophile to shake your stuff to the tantalizing beats of electro-popstress Yelle. The finest disco pop music this side of Robyn, Yelle's Pop Up debut was flawless, and her just-released Safari Disco Club is equally as compelling.

Link: http://twitition.com/bvpox Ezra Koenig is the indie hunk frontman of the popular buzzband Vampires Weeknd. What you may not know about Ezra is that he has a MASSIVE PERSONAL FOLLOWING, and there are oodles of entry-level QTs who would love to bring Ezra home 2 meet their family 4 Xmas/Chanukah. It seems like some of his fans made some sort of 'petition' that may have crossed the line and could be turning Koenig's life into a complete nightmare. His fan base is cyberbullying [...]

∆ A very interesting lad: parece que será um bom ator e é damn cute!

http://www.twitter.com/arze Ezra Koenig is the sexi hot hunky frontman from the hit buzzband Vampire Weekend . In addition, he sometimes 'goes solo' and 'collabs' with lots of different indie bands. However, now it seems like he is 'trying to take his career to 'mainstream levels' by bronoodling with the cast of Jersey Shore. The Situation, Pauly D, Snickers, J-Whoa, Sammi Sweet

Prepare to get sweaty, prepare to dance, and prepare to get shoved by me in a rock and roll punk ass mosh pit of one. Ezra Furman and the Harpoons are coming to SF.

After stumbling upon a Mother’s Day tribute post earlier today that featured an unsurprisingly great take on a Paul Simon tune by cover song pros The Morning Benders, it occurred to me that Simon’s oeuvre — a staple of my, and perhaps their, father’s record collection — has become a notable point of reference for a number of indie bands and solo artists of late. In the past couple years, The Tallest Man on Earth , Local Natives, Jens Lekman, Conor Oberst, Ezra Koenig, Spoon, and others have turned in reverent renditions of songs penned by [...]
