there is so much new music on the front, and so much work to be done, that i haven't had the time to evaluate it all! ack! but it'll get done, i'm sure. at one point or another... now that that is cleared up, moving on...
them prepsters (preppy+hipsters)/indie kids have done it again. Vampire Weekend will be releasing their sophomore album in January, but already their single "Horchata" has me anxiously waiting for more.
this time, the boys have brought a little more spice to their music, with sounds from Africa or the Caribbean or some other exotic place (so they say) influencing their music. it is evident in the drum beats in this song, but not in their other newest release "Cousins" (which is way more upbeat and fast-paced).
on a side note from their music, their album artwork also has this air of...something or other in it. (again, i think it's the hipster thing. not sure.)
read this blog's post on it - and also take a listen to it too. it's fun.
