─ Release notes ─────────────────────────────────────── ─── ─ ─
With the Internet able to build up or tear down artists
almost as soon as they start practicing, the advance
word and intense scrutiny doesn't always do a band any
favors. By the time they've got a full-length album
ready to go, the trend-spotters are already several Hot
New Bands past them. Vampire Weekend started generating
buzz in 2006 -- not long after they formed -- but their
self-titled debut album didn't arrive until early 2008.
Vampire Weekend also has just a handful of songs that
haven't been floating around the 'Net, which may
disappoint the kind of people who like to post "First!"
on message boards. This doesn't make those songs any
less charming, however -- in fact, the band has spent
the last year and a half making them even more
charming, perfecting the culture collision of indie-,
chamber-, and Afro-pop they call "Upper West Side
Soweto" by making that unique hybrid of sounds feel
completely effortless. So, Vampire Weekend ends up
being a more or less official validation of the long-
building buzz around the band, served up in packaging
that uses the Futura typeface almost as stylishly as
Wes Anderson. At times, the album sounds like someone
trying to turn a Wes Anderson movie back into music
(it's no surprise that the band's keyboardist also
writes film scores); there's a similarly precious yet
adventurous feel here, as well as a kindred eye and ear
for detail. Everything is concise, concentrated,
distilled, vivid; Vampire Weekend's world is extremely
specific and meticulously crafted, and Vampire Weekend
often feels like a concept album about preppy guys who
grew up with classical music and recently got really
into world music. Amazingly, instead of being
alienating, the band's quirks are utterly winning.
Scholarly grammar ("Oxford Comma") and architecture
("Mansard Roof") are springboards for songs with
impulsive melodies, tricky rhythms, and syncopated
basslines. Strings and harpsichords brush up against
African-inspired chants on "M79," and lilting Afro-pop
guitars and a skanking beat give way to Mellotrons on
"A-Punk." It's a given that a band that's this high
concept has hyper-literate lyrics: the singer's name is
the very writerly Ezra Koenig, and you almost expect to
see footnotes in the album's liner notes. Once again,
though, Vampire Weekend's words are evocative instead
of gimmicky. The irresistible "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa"
rhymes "Louis Vuitton" with "reggaeton" and "Benneton"
and name-drops Peter Gabriel (though it's clear the
band spent more time with Paul Simon's Graceland)
without feeling contrived. "Campus" is another
standout, with lines like "I see you walking across the
campus...how am I supposed to pretend I never want to
see you again?" throwing listeners into college life no
matter what their age. Koenig has a boyish, hopeful
quality to his voice that completes Vampire Weekend,
especially on bittersweet but irrepressible songs like
"I Stand Corrected" and album closer "The Kids Don't
Stand a Chance." Fully realized debut albums like
Vampire Weekend come along once in a great while, and
these songs show that this band is smart, but not too
smart for their own good.
