Diane Young, the first of two singles from Modern Vampires Of The City (out Friday May 3) is pounding, skittish and bursting with fruit flavour. Two amazing things happen at the end – a little skatman vocal break down and a massive explosion of pure anarchic joy. I have never loved Vampire Weekend as much as I do this very second. Gold stars, all around.
Step, the second of two singles from Modern Vampires Of The City is a sweet little bubbler with a trickling melody in the background that sounds like Pachelbel’s Canon played on a melodeon. Ezra’s voice sits right in the pocket of this dreamy, hipster cloud of sound.
