Description

Vampire Weekends debut album is now back in stock after a fairly lengthy absence. It featured in a good many end of year polls, including my own and is well worth checking out if youve not come across them before.

After gaining exposure through word of mouth, internet blogs and US indie radio, New York based four piece Vampire Weekend release their self-titled debut for XL Records. Recorded at various locations including barns and friends apartments and produced by keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij, the band describe their sound as Upper West Side Soweto playing a unique mix of Strokes style New York indie rock mixed with African rhythms. The debut single Mansard Roof is included.
