{"product_id":"vampire-weekend","title":"Vampire Weekend","description":"Amazon.com\n\nIt would take a lot for Vampire Weekend's debut to rise above the stench of privileged hype that surrounds it. A bunch of kids who formed the band in their Columbia dorm room borrow wholesale from Afrobeat and angular '80s stuff, and they quickly become an online buzz band before releasing a single album? Thankfully the record, and the band, are great fun: playful, pop-wise, and smart enough to pull their shtick off with aplomb. Organ and drums are often the focal point of the music, bringing to mind a goofier, happier Clinic (if that group's record-collecting habits were more scattershot). On the excellently named (and better sounding) \"Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,\" Vampire Weekend asks, \"Does it feel so unnatural \/ To Peter Gabriel too?,\" immediately disarming--with self-aware brazenness--any criticism of their pomo\/postcolonialist borrowing of \"ethnic\" music. It's clear that these dudes have not only inherited the nerd-rock omnivore's mantle from the Talking Heads, they've actually and already improved upon it. --Mike McGonigal\n\nProduct description\n\nVampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend - CD\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0010V4TZU\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0010V4TZU.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Vampire Weekend\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
