Vampire Weekend

Released 2008Alternative & Indie
Start here

A bright, preppy debut blending Afropop guitars with witty literate pop. Fresh and instantly likeable. The start of a great run. Released in 2008, it's an early landmark for Vampire Weekend.

On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
