I first discovered Vampire Weekend early last year. I fell in love with the preppy melodies and sometimes energetic, sometimes laid-back vibe of their music. Originally just Ivy League grads that decided to start a band, they soon became indie blog darlings and "A-Punk" started to be used in everything. My interest in them wained as they became ubiquitous. I recently stumbled upon their latest single "Cousins"; I was reminded of why I love Vampire Weekend. The catchy fun sound of the first album remains but with a bit more attitude. The video for "Cousins" is an amazing example of what creative minds and low-tech effects can accomplish. Enjoy.
