Music reviews of Vampire Weekend
Music Review: Love It!!
Rating: 5 Stars
i've read both sides of the spectrum....frankly i freaking love this album and cant wait til Jan for the new release!! Was hooked 1st time i herad "A Punk", not to mention my 3 yr old begs me to jam it as soon as we get in the Element. I wouldnt say its totally original but they do show signs of sum originality. If you like these doods try and pick up Talking Heads album "speaking in tongues" or Paul Simon "Graceland" and even Peter, Bjorn, and Johns good album!! Writers Block....feel as if they infuse above mentioned together as well as a twist of their own. If this wasnt helpful sorry....it jus means yer lame!!
Description of Vampire Weekend
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. Named "Hot New Kids" in Rolling Stone's "Hot" issue. Vinyl contains MP3 coupon.It would take a lot for Vampire Weekend's debut to rise above the stench of privileged hype that surrounds it. A bunch of kids who formed the band in their Columbia dorm room borrow wholesale from Afrobeat and angular '80s stuff, and they quickly become an online buzz band before releasing a single album? Thankfully the record, and the band, are great fun: playful, pop-wise, and smart enough to pull their shtick off with aplomb. Organ and drums are often the focal point of the music, bringing to mind a goofier, happier Clinic (if that group's record-collecting habits were more scattershot). On the excellently named (and better sounding) "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa," Vampire Weekend asks, "Does it feel so unnatural / To Peter Gabriel too?," immediately disarming--with self-aware brazenness--any criticism of their pomo/postcolonialist borrowing of "ethnic" music. It's clear that these dudes have not only inherited the nerd-rock omnivore's mantle from the Talking Heads, they've actually and already improved upon it. --Mike McGonigal
