Vampire Weekend
Apr. 2nd, 2008 09:04 amI downloaded Vampire Weekend’s self-titled album a couple months ago and it soon reached heavy rotation in iTunes. Then I started this CD ripping project and I completely forgot about it. Last night I found a lossless copy of it and it sparked my interest again. I imported it and made MP3s after sticking the lossless files away for future reference. And then I thoughts, “Why not share this?” So here we go.
It’s light and poppy, with a distinctly Police-y sound. I’ve read reviews which compare it to Graceland, that obscure 1986 album by Art Garfunkle’s former partner, but honestly, I don’t get that so much. If you’re just going to try one or two tracks, I’d recommend Oxford Comma, M79 and The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance, but honestly they’re all quite good. Definitely worth a test listen if nothing else.
The files will be there for one week. Share and enjoy, and I guess if you like it you should consider buying the album. I’m going to when I have money enough for that kind of purchase.
