I have to say Vampire Weekend struck me the same way the Talking Heads first album did. These songs are filled with fresh new ideas and a new original sound from a New York band. Vampire Weekend don’t rip off the Heads or try and sound like one deleted track from Remain in Light after another. Instead, they sound like what David Byrne would presently sound like.
They are currently touring Europe, in support of the album, and are selling out venues all over England and France. When they return to the United States, their first gigs on the East Coast are sold-out as well. If that doesn’t show a little proof that this is a great debut album, Vampire Weekend is set to release a new album in late 2009. Don't be left in the dark without this Cape Code indie band's debut.
