The Next Big Thing
Vampire Weekend have resurrected my ability to get excited about a new band at the ripe old age of 32. For a while now I’d been wondering what direction progressive pop/indie music could take. I thought if there was anything new to be done it wold involve African rhythms and last week while listening to the Guardian music weekly podcast, I came across Vampire Weekend and their single Mansard Roof. What a breath of fresh air.
Their debut album is out next week!
Listen to more at their Myspace Page.
Just got the album on your recommendation and that of the vids and Myspace page - superb bit of work.
