There was nothing brave about Vampire Weekend's eponymous debut release. Just a couple of Ivy League kids making an indie-pop album after listening to an armful of Afro-pop records. Plenty of bands have done this before (See: Paul Simon, he actually went to Africa), but when Vampire Weekend handed out a few homemade EPs, the world was suddenly nipping at the bit for a full-length release back in 2006. This album, their debut, wasn't released until 2008. The band's mix of west-African pop with various other influences created a sound they've dubbed, "Upper West Side Soweto," which won [...]

The release of Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City was recently pushed back to May 14th, but that isn't the only sad news coming from the peppy indie rock prepsters. Apparently, car aficionados far and wide are fuming over the torching of a Saab in the video for "Diane Young." So much so that Ezra Koenig (who's recently adopted a vaguely Elvis vocal style) was forced to release a statement proclaiming his respect and admiration for all things automobile. Hopefully this bad bit of press- no matter how silly it may be- won't affect the single's success. [...]

After debuting two new songs this past weekend at SXSW, word leaked that both songs that Vampire Weekend performed would be getting the CDQ treatment and be released later on today. Well apparently that wasn't the only thing that leaked, cause earlier today a high quality version of "Diane Young" popped up on the internet along with rumors that the studio version of "Step" was soon to follow. Predictably, the leak was removed as quickly as it popped up, but now we have the official release of "Diane Young", and if you didn't get to hear [...]

Ha un titolo, una copertina e una data d'uscita: Modern vampires of the city è il nuovo album dei Vampire Weekend che uscirà il prossimo 7 maggio. Quella che vedete a inizio post è la copertina mentre dopo il salto trovate la tracklist ufficiale.

In una pagina del New York Times, lo scorso week-end è stato pubblicato un annuncio all'interno della rubrica intitolata "Notices & Lost and found". L'annuncio recitava appunto: [...]
