Riding high on the knowledge that Contra made it to the top of the Billboard charts last week, Vampire Weekend recently underwent the Blogotheque experience. The band are oft derided and dismissed due in equal part to their attire (think an underdressed version of Dexy's circa Don't Stand Me Down) and the suspicion that they were milking the bum notes of Paul Simon's Graceland on their eponymous debut. What I like about the band is their stubborn refusal on Contra to alter their sound and it's resulted in a frequently lovely record. Horchata in particular is a breath of fresh air.'Horchata' - Vampire Weekend
