This song was praised in both Blender and Spin this month, so I checked it out. It's good! Different and obscure... but mellow, fun, and catchy. A nice listen for a lazy late summer afternoon. Hear it here: myspace.com/vampireweekend

They've signed to XL here in the UK.
"Mansard Roof" is their first single (out October 22nd) and the album will apparently be out in January 2008.
One to watch!

The album's leaked, and I've been reading good things about it. I'm downloading now.

I'm loving it. Very chill. A mix of Spoon with some Kings of Leon wails.

I downloaded this a few weeks ago. There are onle 10 tracks, so I don't know if it's the actual album.

I can only find two non-album tracks in their catalogue: "Arrows" and "Ladies of Cambridge." Both are great. Anyone know of any more?

Vampire Weekend was interviewed by Pete Wentz on F'n TRL yesterday. The indie community should be proud!

I can't wait until they get Katy Perry to guest vocal on their new single for a huge sell-out single which gets to #22 on the Hot 100!
