Vampire Weekend


Vampire Weekend

Much has been made of the resurgence of ‘Afro-Beat’ within guitar music and VAMPIRE WEEKEND have been marked out at the front of this reclaimed musical style. 

Whilst the New York based band certainly demonstrate influences from around the globe and, in particular the lilting African guitar lines of ‘Hi Life’, their eponymous debut album is, at heart, a great pop record, in thrall to no one in particular and full of cracking pop songs such as breakthrough single ‘A-Punk’.
