Vampire Weekend: iTunes Session EP (2011)


(XL)

RECOMMENDED

With brass this sweet and spontaneous, and with that bounce in Ezra Koenig's voice on "Have I the Right," at this point it wouldn't matter if they were singing about yachting clubs and vacation homes. This is the sound of a good band effortlessly becoming one of your favorites in the world, calm, live, tight, and joyous. "Cousins" is better, "Holiday" unrecognizable (perhaps for the better following its teevee overexposure), "I'm Going Down" classic. Buy/download now.
