This is Vampire Weekend's debut self-tiltled LP.  This band hails from New York and features 4 former Columbia University students.  Their sound is quite diverse with a mix of African guitar, Western classical canon, a bit of reggae and pop, organ-and-drum beats, and of course an overall alternative-contemporary sound that will remind one of such bands as Talking Heads, Paul Simon (Graceland), the Strokes, Bedouin Soundclash.
