The Greatest Music
Vampire Weekend
The 1076th greatest album of all time
Vampire Weekend is the band's debut album, pairing indie rock guitar jangle with Afro-pop and worldbeat influences and ornate pop arrangements. The record is notable for its bright, rhythmic production, literate and often playful lyrics sung by Ezra Koenig, and layered instrumentation from the band's multi-instrumental lineup, creating a clean, breezy sound that helped shape a strand of mid 2000s indie pop.
