Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend [LP] (download)

Vampire Weekend is the debut studio album by the American indie rock band Vampire Weekend, released in January 2008. This New York 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 of shrugging New York indie strumming and groovy Afro-pop, Vampire Weekend's combination of organ and drums sounding refreshingly laidback and uncomplicated with simple set-ups that make good songs sound exceedingly easy. The lyrics narratives about relationships, punctuation, and sometimes both have ensured that this debut album is one that you see every once in a while.
