Vampire Weekend is the debut studio album by the American indie rock band Vampire Weekend, released in January 2008 on XL Recordings. The album was recorded in a variety of environments including; a basement where there was "a good set up for recording drums"; a barn; the apartments of two band members and Tree Fort studio in Brooklyn
Vampire Weekend return with a shaggy, sprawling double album all about rebirth, contentment, and the reclamation of light. From the beginning, Vampire Weekend were winners: charming, relatively lighthearted; Columbia students one year, festival headliners the next. They had cute sweaters and smart jokes; they wrote with wit and curiosity about the tapestry of privileged life; they carried themselves with an almost infuriating sparkle.
The band's fourth record "is done".
Difficulty: intermediate. Occident out on the weekend. D6. E7. That's the way that we relax. E6. English Breakfast tastes like Darjeeling
