I have to say, I have not been so excited or obsessed with a cd since my junior year of high school when I first heard Rilo Kiley's More Adventurous. The ivy-league quartet, Vampire Weekend has got me in lust. I popped their cd into my car and have literally been listening to it on repeat. All the hype around them is deserved, their sound is fresh and providing a nice spice to the indie world. As a child who grew up on Paul Simon's Graceland, I appreciate the renaissance of African beats. The caribbean influence, horns and flutes wrapped up in the guise of a preppy indie band is a hidden surprise. Even my 64 year old dad loves them (and has said he's going to thrown their name around in conversation and see where it gets him).
